The first working plan in Vermont under the
state forest service. made by the writer while
engaged as assistant to the state forester. The
area treated is ownd by DR.. William Stanford
Stevens of Albans Vermont, and is located at
Enosburg, in the same state. An outline OF the
work and its provisions follow
The area involved embraces 900 acres, divided
as follows:
Woodland, $50 acres pasture land, 344 acres;
meadow 1876 acres.
The conditions that led the owner to consider
the possibilities of forestry were these The area
had been maintained under more or less diver
sifed system OF farm management, and as the own
did not live on or near the property he wished
to be relieved of the and attention that such
an arrangement involved
To accomplish this purpose 1t seemed best to
bring the three classes of land under definite
and permanent system of management through
the provisions and maintenance OF forest work
ing plan.
The provisions follow:
l. To complete the treatment of the whole tract
at the end of ten years
. All woodland to be treated is divided into
ten equal areas, to be thinned in the fall and
winter of each year
g. All pasture land is divided into ten equal
areas one to be planted in the spring of each year.
A. All meadow land will be maintained as such.
5. For each wooded area the kind of thinning
to employ is stated; also a rough estimate. to-
gether with net value, of the amount to come out
6. For each area to be planted, the species are
selected and the number necessary given. together
with the total cost of the work.
The woodland is Mixed hardwoods consisting OF

Sugar maple reproduction is especially good. and
with ash and Eastwood is particularly desirable
In treating this area either reproduction or i'm

all undesirable and over-mature species and such

were left to reproduce as well as to become more
valuable through increased growth.

show the possibility of such return,

(The acreage of woodland to be treated is cut
down from the total $50 by the fact that about $50
acres being cut over under a contract made
previous to the adoption of this plan. 1t accounts
for only % and 20 acres coming under management
for the years given above, which is, of course not
onetenth of the total of woodland.)
It is estimated that the total receipts from the
cutting including the tract being cut under contract
above mentioned will pay the complete cost OF
planting and seedlings.
The plan just outlined means that at the end OF
the ten-year period the owner will have his wood

The returns from Trimmings which will be made on

ing each section thinned rs years DID, will give a
considerable return. At this time about 400 trees
per acre will be removed. From 1850 to 1860 the
will be clear cut by sections and replanted.
The total yield from this cutting should be at least
10000 board feet per acre. The plan also pro-
vdes for proper fire protection, which is absolutely
necessary for the successful maturing OF planta-
ton 1t also states the conditions which any con.
tractor must meet who makes the cuttings during
the next ten years These conditions follow:
l. All trees to come out are bazed and stamped
with the letter ~"
g. The contractor must take all marked and leave
all unmarked trees
g. Care in telling must be taken in order that
young growth and reproduction Will not be injured.
A. All sound logs inches at the small end and
over to go into lumber
s. Sound down timber and tops OF felled trees are
to be cut into cord wood
g. Care must be taken In skidding logs not to in
jure standing trees and reproduction.
T. The contractor will be liable to penalty OF
twice the value of any tree that is cut not bearing
the official stamp.
g. All work is subject to inspection
The state forester also agrees to mark the trees
to cut each year.
While the himself will not enjoy this re-
turn, the plan offers an example of the instance
cited previously by which individual is willing to
make longtime investment in order to make it
possible tor the next generation in his family to
enjoy the results.
