| Site History:
This site is part of Stand 20. A reference from 1992 indicates that the
site has been "thinned recently", which probably refers to 1978 when a
firewood sale was offered. No harvest activity has occurred in
stand 20 in the past two decades. The site is scheduled to be harvested
shortly after our sampling. Remnant stone walls indicate that Stand 20
was part of a farm in the recent past. Stand Age: 90 years | |||||||||||||||||||||
