The intersection of Routes 7 and 53 in Salisbury is in the center of this scene. In the past 230 years, the composition of these forests has changed from dominance by American beech, sugar maple, and eastern hemlock to dominance by white pine, sugar maple, red oak, white ash, and paper birch. This reflects the increas...

Rattlesnake Point is the ultimate vantage for Lake Dunmore and most of Salisbury, Vermont. I took a panorama from here on August 1, but it was so hazy it would not stitch properly. After a month of hazy or cloudy weather, I returned to this point on September 2, but it was the day public schools opened in Vermont, so...

Mesic Maple-Ash-Hickory-Oak Forest -- Thin glacial till soils over calcium-rich limestone and marble on this west-facing slope support a productive forest dominated by sugar maple, red oak, and white ash. Shagbark hickory and hophornbeam are also common. If allowed to mature for a few decades, this could become import...

White pine, red oak, and paper birch are common in this view today because two centuries of timber removal has reduced the success of the original late successional dominants. According to the "witness trees" noted in the original lot surveys in Salisbury, the most common trees in the late 18th century were ...

Ring counts of increment cores from the two large hemlocks in this scene confirm that both are more than 300 years old. These are certainly the oldest trees in the town forest, and likely the oldest in Salisbury. A few large chestnut oaks and white oaks in the stand may be nearly as old. It is unusual to find living...

Since the first image of this garden was made on July 10 (www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=28793), my efforts here have been applied mostly to weeding, mulching, and eating. Normally we would be entering the most delightful three month season of fresh produce, but this year the late blight (www.nytime

About 80% of the area of this image is in the town of Salisbury, Vermont. This view to the west from Burnt Mountain includes the entire 17 mile width of the Champlain Valley, with the Adirondacks in distant New York. As is true throughout the valley, the forests are young and the agricultural fields are old – tree...

This white oak (Quercus alba) is probably less than a century old, and appears to have spent much of its life cantilevered along the ground. It is near a cliff at the edge of a ridge where thin soils support Dry Oak Forest, a community of white, chestnut, and red oak, with red maple and hop hornbeam. Notes: The D40...

Twenty percent of the town of Salisbury, Vermont is federal property within the Green Mountain National Forest, and that includes most of the land in this view. The Forest Service ensures that trees on this land never get large enough to frighten people or damage wildlife. Mount Moosalamoo, to the left of center, is ...

This vegetable garden is in the well-drained sandy loam of a 13,000 year old ice-contact alluvial fan. Soil fertility is enhanced by tilling under 30 cm of tree leaves each autumn, and several cm of composted cow manure each spring. During the growing season, beds are mulched with compost and old hay. Most of the pr...
