STATE BUYS FOREST TRACT
Mansfield Forest is Second
LARGEST State Reserve in
New ENGLAND

The state forestry department has jus
concluded the purchase of tract o.
about 1000 acres lying on the east side Of
Mount Mansfield. This property, added
to the one acquired year ago on the
west side of the range, makes the total
area about 5000 acres. The Mansfield
forest thus becomes not only the largest
state forest in Vermont, but next to the
Crawford Notch forest in New Hamp-
shire. the largest in New England.
1t is understood that the state of New
Hampshire paid 100000 for the Craw.
ford Notch property of 5000 acres while
the Mansfield forest will cost Vermont
about $l3,500. However, in the former
case the timber was included in the pur-
chase whereas funds were not available
for the Vermont Forestry department to
purchase the merchantable timber.
A fairly satisfactory arrangement has
beed made by the state forester with the
grantors whereby they agree not to cut
spruce and fir trees which are less than
10 inches in diameter; and hemlock and
hardwood, less than Is inches, (al trees
to be measured at breast height. On
certain areas no cuttings are to be made
and the time limit will make it impossi-
BILE to cut close. The legal arrangements
for the purchase were made by States
Attorney Maurice of Lamoille comfy.
From forestry standpoint the pur-
chase of this large area at reasonable
price, with fairly good stand of grow
ing trees, makes this by far the finest
area in the state. Markets for lumber
in Stowe and Underhill are bound to
improve and there can be no question
but what the purchase will prove a good
investment to the state in future years.
Gov. Gates, who has been in favor of
this purchase since it was first called to
his attention. is particularly interested
because OF its senic aspect. On the north
the tract crosses the Smugglcr's Notch
road, which the governor hopes to devel-
op as one of the chief attractions of the |
state. 1t is unsurpassed for beauty by
anything in New England. Farther
south the Nebraska Notch crosses the !
state forest.
By a development of roads through |
these two notcbes a splendid circuit
would be thrown open to the automo-
bilist. State Forester HAYES believes
that the demonstration of practical for
estry principles in section which will be
80 widely visited cannot fail to produce
good results throughout the state.
In still another way this large state
forest will be beneficial. This is in the
prote ction OF the streams. Several large
brooks rise in this forest and are import
ant tributa les OF the Wnooski and La
noble rivers. The waterfalls on the for
est are numerous and exceedingly pic
,uresque.
1t should be mentioned that the sum-
nit of Mount Mansfield is not included
n the purchase, since that belongs to
he University of Vermont through a
lift dating back to 1859.
These purchases are made possible
through an appropriation made to the
orestry department by the General
assembly of 1912. J
