Description: | 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. |
