BOYLSTON. 



The proportion of wooded land to the total area of the town 

 is about 50 per cent. The chief types are chestnut, oak, pine 

 and soft maple, in clear and mixed stands. In general the 

 condition is healthy. Practically all of the pine plantations 

 around the shores of the reservoir show a healthy growth. 



The Sterling Lumber Company, represented by Walker, 

 Wilding & Davis, a Worcester firm, transact most of the 

 lumber business of this town, and cut about 200 M feet per 

 year. 



George F. Flagg, Boylston Center, does some lumbering and 

 cuts about 200 M feet per year.
