An old field in the Farm Woodlot reverting to white pine and hardwoods. The first pines have been severely weeviled, but younger pines -- afforded some overstory protection -- have suffered little damage. White pine in the Paul Smiths area is regenerating only on old fields, and on some sandy soils.
