The Old House Lot forest management project includes plantations of Norway spruce; and natural stands of red maple and aspen with remnant red pine, hemlock, oak-hemlock, and oak-hardwoods. The work in the non-native plantations is planned to continue their transition to stands of naturally regenerated, native species. The small red maple-aspen-red pine stand will be managed to expand and add much-needed early successional habitat to the forest. In the other stands, conditions will be created to allow hemlock to thrive, regenerate red oak (a highly adaptable species under climate for which limited seedlings and saplings are present), and slow the spread of emerald ash borer by reducing ash phloem.
