Landowner Signature

The most important information on a cutting plan is the Landowner’s objective, as this will determine which trees will be harvested and which will remain; this decision will also determine the future condition of the forest for decades to come. After having read the Massachusetts Forest Cutting Plan Information Sheet on page one, indicate your objective by checking the appropriate box below.

LT – Long-term Forest Management ST - Short-term Harvest Planned management of the forest to achieve one or more of the Harvest of trees with the main intention of producing following objectives: produce immediate and maximize long-term short-term income with minimal consideration given to income, enhance wildlife habitat, improve recreational opportunities, improving the future forest condition, which often results protect soil and water quality, or produce forest specialty products. in a forest dominated by poor quality and low value species.

I (we) have read the Massachusetts Cutting Plan Information Sheet, and am aware of my (our) management options. Landowner I (we) hereby certify that I (we) have the legal authority to carry out the operation described above. I (we) certify that I (we) have notified the Conservation Commission in the town in which the operation is to take place and the abutters of record within two hundred feet of the area to be harvested. I (we) understand that the volumes and values (Ch61 only) in this plan have not been independently verified by the service forester upon approval and will report final values and volumes to the Director or his/her agent if the final figures differ from those reported.

Cutting Standards

Indicate location on map ST-5 ST-6 Forest Type OH OH Acres 6.5+/- 2.5+/- Landowner Objective LT LT Designation of Trees CT CT Type of Cut OT SE Source of Regeneration OT OT Stand Type 1 (ST-1):

This red pine and Scotch pine plantation will be treated in an individual and group selection harvesting system aimed at reducing the basal area by approximately 50%. The desire is to open the understory for new production of native tree species and to develop wind firm trees with healthy crowns in the overstory.

Stand Type 2 (ST-2):

This white pine and mixed hardwood forest type will be treated in a selection harvesting system where individual and small groups will be removed from the overstory. The desire is to open the understory for new production of native tree species and to develop wind firm trees with healthy crowns in the overstory. Approximately 1/3 of the basal area and overstory volume will be removed in this harvest.

Stand Treatment Stand Treatment Stand Type 3 (ST-3):

This mixed oak and mixed hardwood forest type will be treated in a selection harvesting system where individual and small groups will be removed from the overstory. The desire is to open the understory for new production of native tree species and to develop wind firm trees with healthy crowns in the overstory. Approximately 1/3 of the basal area and overstory volume will be removed in this harvest.

Stand Type 4 (ST-4):

This mixed hardwood forest type will be thinned as part of a sanitation harvest to remove as much of the existing invasive species in the stand as possible. Invasive species control is the primary objective in this treatment area. Harvesting poor quality trees that have been smothered by the bittersweet will be done to accomplish this goal. Mechanical harvesting equipment will cut the prolific invasive species understory to prepare the site for natural regeneration of native trees and vegetation. Other invasive species in the stand that will be cut include honeysuckle, buckthorn, firebush, barberry, and multiflora rose. Post harvesting treatments of the invasive species will include mechanical cutting by equipment such as flail-mower.

Stand Type 5 (ST-5):

This mixed oak and mixed hardwood stand overlooking Kenoza Lake will be thinned for the purpose of creating scenic vistas to and from the Winnekenni Castle located at the southern end of the treatment area. All understory trees less than four (4) inches in diameter will be cut to help accomplish this goal of the Winnekenni Foundation. The desire is to create fern, grass, and native ground cover vegetation that will be periodically mowed and maintained to preserve the vista that is created as a result of this harvest. Trees to be harvested over four (4) inches in diameter have been marked with blue paint.

Stand Type 6 (ST-6):

This mixed oak and mixed hardwood stand is adjacent to two parking lots and the Winnekenni Castle. Areas within 100 feet of the parking areas and Castle will be thinned to create scenic vistas while removing hazard trees near buildings, the Castle, and parking lots. The trees will be marked when mechanical logging equipment is on the property. It is estimated that approximately 40% of the overstory will be removed to accomplish this goal. Please see page 6 for basal area removal, quality of trees to be cut, and size of trees to be cut in the treatment area.

Use this Section to provide further explanation or if Other (OT) was used in any category in the Best Management Practices Section on Page 3.

1) Flag skid trails prior to harvesting

2) Skid timber when ground conditions are dry, frozen or otherwise stable.

3) Whole-tree chipping will be conducted during the harvest for aesthetics, fire protection, and wood utilization.

4) Install water bars on steep slopes where necessary

6 BMPs Use this Section to describe the types of trees to be harvested and/or retained if Other (OT) was used for "Designation of Trees" in the Stand Treatment Section on page 4.

Use this Section to describe how Chapter 132 requirements will be met if a non standard system (HG, DL, or OT) Information was used for the "Type of Cut" in the Cutting Standards Section on page 4.

Stand No. Source of How will Regeneration be obtained/protected? Regeneration If using AD - Describe the species present and how the regeneration will be protected (ex. AD, SE ) If using SE - Describe the source of the seed and the number of seed trees/acre

4 SE Remove invasive species growth in the understory to encourage native tree regeneration. Encourage native ground cover establishment (ferns, grasses, etc…) that will be maintained after the harvest. 5 NA A 25’ filter strip of saplings (4” DBH and under) will be left along the west side of Dudley Porter Road for aesthetic purposes. 6 NA Encourage native ground cover establishment (ferns, grasses, etc…) that will be maintained after the harvest.

Stand No. Desired Future Condition Describe what the stand is expected to look like five years from the harvest, including the condition of the overstory & understory All See Forest Stewardship Management Plan on file with DCR.

 A 50 foot aesthetic buffer strip will be left along Kenoza Street and the Haverhill Water Treatment Plant. Occasional low quality trees

 Regeneration & Future Condition and suppressed trees will be cut in this buffer strip for safety and aesthetic improvements.
