planted them. 1t is his intention as far
as possible to eliminate the undesirable
soft wood growth such as spruce and fir,
and to foster hard wood trees. He has
ordered, for instance, seven kinds of oak
saplngs which will be added to the many
kinds of trees already found in the park.
Four years ago he planted Is catalpa
trees, which came from Ohio, and most
of them are doing we'll. The catalpa in
it's native soil grows very rapidly, and is
especially useful in cabinet work.
Special attention was directed to a
blue beech, which was found in South
Thomaston, the reward OF years of hunt
ing. 1t is not only very rare, but difficult
to transplant. 1t is related to The hop
hornbeam.
The preservation of wild life in Utopia
Park has also been one of Mr.. ,Lermond's
aims. He desires that cartridges have a
place to breed, undisturbed, and to that
end hunters and dogs are not welcome
here. AS this protection might reason
ably be expected to result in an increased
number of birds, many of which would
fly beyond the limits of the Park, Mr.
Lermond's efforts can scarcely meet with
opposition on the part OF hunters, neither
would they be in position to find fault
with what Mr.. Lermond does with his
own premises.
Here is a list of birds found nesting in
the Knox Arbore,um: Robin, hermit
thrush, olive-backed thrush, kingfisher,
long-eared owl, cooper's hawk, crow,
bluejay, breasted grosbeak, yellow
flicker, downy woodpecker, song sparrow,
Savannah sparrow, vesper sparrow,
chipping sparrow, white throated spar
row, slate colored junco. goldfnch, yellow
warbler, chestnut sided warbler, black
throated green warbler, Nashville war;
bier, magnolia warbler, blue yellow
backed warbler, red start, Maryland
yellow throat, oven bird, ruffed grouse,
woodcock, red-eyed vireo, red breasted
nuthatch, chickadee and spotted sand
piper-a total of 80 kinds.
Mr.. Lermond's efforts to make the
Park a paradise for nature lovers is al
ready attracting attention outside of
Knox county, and it is not improbable
that the Maine State Au jubon Society
may have its summer headquarters there
for the purpose of studying native birds.
With infinite pains Mr.. Lermond has
encircled the Park with thoroughfare
considerably better than a wood road,
and which he hopes ultimately to gravel.
The material for that purpose Is found
abundantly in gravel deposit on his
own premises. He has also constructed
rock culverts where cutters intersect the
Park.
The scenery is everywhere pleasing to
the eye, bit finds its climax where the
Georges and Oyster rivers meet. Their
union is overlooked from a lofty bank,
which a prominent Rockland man, long
since deceased, once wanted to buy for a
summer home. Mr. Lermond could sell
the Park tomorrow for a gratifying
figure, and the new owners would pro-
badly strip 1t of its hard wood growth for
commercial purposes. This sacrilege the
dreamer is not yet ready to permit. He
wants it to become a permanent arbore-
tum in the interests of those who love
nature and wild life.
