Opening made by severe windstorms in 1950 and 1954. Nearly all of the 60-80-year-old red maples are severely affected by heart rot at each overgrown limb; they have been poisoned to release the softwoods. If the young maples developing in the opening are not controlled, they will someday duplicate the present overstory condition.

About 50 years ago white pines occupied the overstory here. The red maples came in after cutting; most are of poor quality even for pulpwood. "Has 50-years growth been wasted?"
