Graves Farm, MA Bob Leverett

Heidi,

Today Monica and I went for a walk in Graves Farm and I took a few photos. I am attaching them. I also modeled the Graves Pine (the big one for volume) back in April. It is one of Massachusetts 500-cube pines. The spreadsheet shows the results. The trunk and limbs hold about 570 cubic feet. For a long time I've wanted to contact each of the big owners of conservation lands and do some formal site documentation along the lines of what I do on the DCR properties. So far, I've done Ice Glen, Bullard Woods, the Bryant Homestead, Petticoat Hill, Bartholomew's Cobble, etc. but only two Mass Audubon properties, namely Arcadia and Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuaries.
