The primary goal of the project was to improve animal habitat
by opening densely wooded areas and to study the impact
of selective logging on forest ecology. Secondary benefits
have included the creation of a parking area on the western
end of the forest and the clearing of logging roads that will enhance the current trail system. The logged area
will be monitored to study the evolution and repair of the forest
over the next several years.
Income from
the project will place in the town's land conservation
fund. As voted by the town, any income above
$5,000 will be placed in the general account to reduce taxes. |
