August 2020
Sections of trail at Kingman Farm will be closed periodically over the next few years during a timber harvest. When we are working, the trail will be flagged and signed. Be aware that harvesting equipment has limited visibility when operating. Please help keep all of us safe by remaining out of this area while we are working.
In most areas we’re harvesting trees so others have more space to grow. This technique called thinning and is a common practice for forests of this age. Some areas will be thinned more to allow certain sun-loving species to regenerate.
Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, an invasive forest pest, is affecting the health of hemlock trees in the area. Some infested trees that are dying will be removed. We will thin around others to improve their health. In some areas groups of trees, hemlock or otherwise will be removed to replace them with a younger age class of trees.
If you have any questions or comments you can call, text message or email me.
Thanks! Steve @ 603-534-7979 or woodlands@unh.edu
