170 BIRD OBSERVER Vol. 28, No. 3, 2000 Birding the Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth
170 BIRD OBSERVER Vol. 28, No. 3, 2000 Birding the Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth Glenn d ’Entremont Forty miles south of Boston is a paradise where a patient observer can enjoy the tranquil transition from day to night. There is no better place to be after a long day’s work. Perhaps it is the sandy soil which absorbs the sound waves or its location several miles from any concentration of urban activity. Whatever the reason, the outcome is the same. Hermit Thmshes, Prairie Warblers, and Field Sparrows reluctantly give way to American Woodcock, Great Homed Owl, and Whip-poor-wills. This is not how it was. Before the filling in of Back Bay in Boston, before the slashing and burning of tropical forests of South America, a pristine hardwood forest was destroyed. At the time of the arrival of the Pilgrims, cherry and chestnut trees stood in the pine barrens now called the Myles Standish State Forest. Glaciers have shaped this terrain. It is pocked with kettleholes, bodies of water with no inlet or outlet. The water is colored brown by tannic acid. The sandy soil is glacial deposit. This area was the terminus of the sheet of ice covering New England, and when the glacier(s) retreated, pulverized stone in the form of sand was left. When first cut over by Europeans, the precious top soil was cultivated for a short period, and then it was washed away, leaving the sandy soil base deposited by the glaciers. This soil provides excellent drainage, good for the production of the scmb oak and pitch pine that dominate the landscape today.

Water quality in the aquifer is high. Water levels in the ponds fluctuate directly with the water table from year to year and during the season. Coastal pond shore communities contain animals and insects that have adapted to these fluctuations and only exist in coastal plain ponds. Concern about exceeding the sanitary code for bacteria levels. Last year in August, siX tests at College Pond and three at Curlew Pond eXceeded allowable levels. DCR Ponds and Lakes Program restored Banks at Fearing Pond in 2009. Last state conducted water quality survey was in 2004. The 2004 tests found low nutrient and high dissolved oXygen levels in Charge, Fearing and College Ponds.

Road to Restoration at Halfway Pond Upcoming Project Will Restore Sensitive Pond Shore Habitat, Halfway Improve Public Access, and Enhance Public Safety
OCTOBER 2015 PROPOSED RESTORATION AREA Road to Restoration at Halfway Pond Upcoming project will restore sensitive pond shore habitat, Halfway improve public access, and enhance public safety. Pond Halfway Pond is one of the region’s natural treasures, and has been a focus of the Trust’s land pro- tection and stewardship efforts since our inception back in 1973. Through the generosity of multi- ple donors, we have assembled over 400 acres around the pond. Now known as the Halfway Pond Conservation Area, this landscape encompasses globally rare pine barrens habitat, varied topog- raphy, and extensive frontage on Halfway Pond, and connects with Myles Standish State Forest, at over 14,000 acres the largest contiguous assemblage of open space in southeastern Massachusetts. Our efforts to preserve more land around the pond continue, as exemplified by our July acqui- sition of a seven-acre parcel that nicely complements our existing holdings. In conjunction with our ongoing land protection efforts, we have from time to time pursued multiple initiatives for improving the quality of the area’s wildlife habitat. On several occasions over the past decade- plus, we collaborated with the Mass. DCR and The Nature Conservancy on controlled burns that included a portion of the Halfway Pond Conservation Area. We have also worked to stabilize the CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 Wildlands Trust works throughout southeastern Massachusetts to conserve and permanently protect native habitats, farmland, and lands of high ecologic and scenic value that serve to keep our communities healthy and our residents connected to the natural world.
