PINE PLANTATIONS ON LONG RIDGE 



The hill shown in A and B had been cleared 50 years and abandoned as farm land 20 years before 

 hardwoods were sown and planted here in 1895-1899. Heavy losses among the hardwoods 

 prompted a replanting with pines in 1900. Most of the trees of the present stands are from this 

 later planting, white pines being the most numerous. In places (C) white pines planted under 

 the shade of chestnut have died out or are badly stunted. The chestnut in the right foreground 

 is 39 inches in diameter; the pines marked with tags range from 0.5 to 2.7 inches.
