    Historical Description of the Vegetation of the Boston Harbor Islands: 1600-2000

    Boston Harbor Istatids National Park Area: Natural Resources Overview 2005 Northeastern Naturalist 12(Special Issue 3): 13-30 Historical Description of the Vegetation of the Boston Harbor Islands: 1600-2000 JULIE A. RICHBURG' AND WILLIAM A. PATTERSON III'* Abstract - Historical accounts and descriptions of the Boston Harbor Islands were searched for references to the islands' vegetation. They indicate dra- matic changes in vegetation structure and composition since 1600. Many of the islands were wooded prior to European settlement, although Native American use is evident before 1600. Forests were cleared for agriculture, building materials, and firewood. Through the centuries since European settlement, the islands have variously supported municipal and military fa- cilities, some of which have since been abandoned. As use of the islands changed, the vegetation of the islands also changed; in some cases native trees and other species returned to abandoned areas, while in others new, exotic species became established or were planted. By the end of the 20"' century the vegetation had become a mixture of woodlands (roughly 25% of the islands as a whole), shrub thickets, open lands, and manicured land- scapes, all of which include a large component of non-native species. Introduction Being a focal point for the early history ofthe United States, Boston and its people have been studied for centuries. From the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to the Tea Party and the lives of early presidents, Boston holds a special place in the history of Massachusetts, New England, and the United States. The islands of Boston Harbor have also been studied for their role in protecting the new colony via forts and lighthouses, in commerce and fishing, and in social services.
