Special Note ~ Hiking Trails are Open
Tulmeadow Farm had a timber harvest. The forest is being managed under a forestry plan by a certified forester and implemented by certified forestry practioners.
Tulmeadow Farm has had forestry operations since original ownership in the 1700’s, utilizing the trees for fuel, houses, barns, historic ship timbers and other uses.
The latest forest harvest removed dead and dying oaks affected by spongy moth infestation. Also, mature sawtimber and poles were harvested to release the seedlings and saplings in the forest understory.
A part of the forest had mature white pine harvested with the objective to improve the remaining stand of trees. More light will reach the forest floor to begin the regeneration of a young forest.
Wildlife and birds will benefit by the diverse age classess of the forest.

Got allergies? Try some Local Honey.
For some, Local Honey is thought to have a beneficial affect on allergy sufferers. Here’s the reasoning behind that assumption. The local honeybees, the bees that live and harvest pollen and nectar in your own neighborhood, are collecting the exact same kind of pollen grains that you would be most allergic to. Small amounts of this same pollen (and other possible local allergens associated with flowers) will be found in the honey these bees make. It may seem odd that straight exposure to pollen often triggers allergies but that exposure to pollen in the honey usually has the opposite effect. This is interesting, and a lot cheaper and less painful than allergy shots!
