Conway Town Forester Tim Nolin points to the area of a salvage tree cut that will take place on DOT lands this winter during the Oct. 15 Conway selectmen's meeting. Trees harvested from the cut will genrate revenue for the town. The cut will take place in the hashed areas. (DAYMOND STEER PHOTO)
The hashed area of this map will be where dead oaks will be removed from State of New Hampshire owned lands just south of Pudding Pond. Red areas are where there's a high degree of oak mortality. Green areas are healthy trees and yellow and orange have increasing levels of mortality. (COURTESY IMAGE)

CONWAY — Plans to harvest oak trees on state land south of Pudding Pond were discussed by the town forester at last Tuesday's selectmen's meeting.
Forester Tim Nolin of Forest Land Improvement of Ossipee attended the meeting at the request of Town Manager John Eastman and the Conservation Commission.
After the clear cut in Whitaker Woods I would be very careful with allowing further cuts. All the oaks in my yard are still healthy. There was no reason to strip the land in Whitaker and destroy several popular trails. I believe this will be the same outcome. The $35K is nothing compared to the town budget. We were mislead on the Whitaker cut. Lets not make the same mistake here.
