2020 Annual Report About the Cover

A beautiful stand of Eastern White Pine grows in the woodlands at Sanborn Mills Farm in Loudon, N.H. The historic Farm – it was founded in the 18th century and for much of the 19th century was an import- ant commercial center for Loudon – has been a member of the Timberland Owners Association (NHTOA) for many years.

Eastern White Pine () is one of the most important commercial, environmental, and histori- cal tree species in New Hampshire, though its range goes far beyond New England, from Newfoundland in the north to Minnesota in the Midwest to northern George further south. The tree also grows in England, where it is called Weymouth Pine, after George Weymouth of the British Royal Navy, who brought seeds from to the United Kingdom in 1605. In North America, Eastern White Pine is the tallest species of tree growing east of the Mississippi River, with exceptionally tall specimens reaching heights of more than 180 feet. Henry David Thoreau said of the species, “There is no finer tree.”

In a 1861 volume titled “A History of the Lumber and Forest Industry in the Northwest,” George Wood- ward Hotchkiss write a description of the attributes of Eastern White Pine that still holds true: “Being of a soft texture and easily worked, taking paint better than almost any other variety of wood, it has been found adaptable to all the uses demanded in the building art, from the manufacture of packing cases to the bearing timber and finer finish of a dwelling. Of light weight, it has borne transportation to the farms of the west, where it is used for building purposes in dwellings, barns and corn cribs, while as a fencing material it has no superior. Aside from those conditions which demand a dense strong timber, such as ship-building or in wagon-making, White Pine has been found adaptable to all the economic uses in which lumber is required, not excluding its use in coarser articles of furniture. No wood has found greater favor or entered more fully into supplying all those wants of man which could be found in the forest growths.”

In the 17th and 18th centuries, agents of the British Royal Navy, working on behalf of the Crown, marked certain tall, straight Eastern White Pines as “mast trees,” designated for use by the Navy. These trees were marked by ax with a , and cutting one of these trees was a crime. Portsmouth, N.H., was the hub of shipping of these mast trees, and up until the Revolution about 4,500 mast trees were shipped to England out of Portsmouth’s harbor. But the Crown’s control of these large trees was controversial for the colonists, and in 1734 mast tree agents representing the Crown were assaulted and beaten in Exeter, N.H., in what came to be called the “Mast Tree .” Later, in 1772, the sheriff of Hillsborough County in N.H. traveled to the town of Weare to arrest some sawmill operators there who had several large Eastern White Pines in their possession. The sheriffwas attacked and beaten by a mob, and this event became known as the Pine Tree Riot. The two were symptomaticof the growing unhappiness among colonists with England’s rule, and thus were significant events in the build up to the Revolution.
