Goals and Management Objectives

Forest Management on Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) means different things to different people. Public

Forest Lands are managed for a variety of reasons including timber and non- timber values, wildlife

enhancement, soil and water preservation, demonstration techniques, training and recreation and

aesthetics.

The primary goal for management of P.E.I. Public Forest Land is to enhance the overall forest

quality. To accomplish this, it may be necessary to remove some of the lower quality trees on the

property and nurture those of higher quality. This will in turn improve genetic quality, species

distribution and diversity through careful tree selection and natural regeneration. Allowing acceptable

growing stock the chance to thrive and provide a seed source for the surrounding areas will ensure that

quality natural regeneration has an opportunity to establish. Enhancement or enrichment planting may

be necessary in areas where there is inadequate or unsuitable natural regeneration. Trees native to

P.E.I. that are suitable to the site conditions will be chosen for any required reforestation on the

property. Prescribing treatments in some stands while leaving others untreated will provide for a range

of forest types. Converting stands from a single species to multiple species is desirable. This can be

accomplished by retaining some of the natural regeneration in areas that have been previously planted

and by planned tree selection in stand improvement treatments. Planted and natural stands on the

property will be assessed for health and growth of desired species on an on-going basis. This

information will be used to determine when and where future treatments will be carried out. Through

time, a favourable healthy mixture of short-lived and long-lived species will provide for an abundance of

quality forest products, biodiversity, wildlife, and recreational opportunities as well as a range of

ecological goods and services (such as clean air and water).

Property Overview

Location

Property # 24786 is located on the Port Hill Station Road, Route #169, in the community of

Mount Pleasant, P.E.I., (Appendix A). The total area of this property is 47.8 hectares (118 acres) and the

midpoint of the property is Latitude N 46.57739 decimal degrees, Longitude W -63.98563 decimal

degrees.

Past Information

Local records and previous aerial photography show that the southern quarter (approximately

12 hectares) of this property was used for agricultural purposes early in the 20th century. To better

illustrate this 1974 photography can be seen in Appendix B.

Property Information

The information in Appendix C has been taken from the 2000 Corporate Land Use Inventory. An

explanation of forestry code meanings can be seen in Appendix D. Any stands that have proposed

silvicultural treatment prescriptions are to have on-ground stand assessments completed prior to any

work being started. This on-ground assessment information is included in this plan as updated stand

tally sheets (Appendix E) and supplements the extrapolated data where applicable. A topographic map

of the property shows the general terrain profile, the ranges in elevation and the plantations currently

on the property (Appendix F).

Page 5: P.E.I. Public Forests

Wetland and Watercourse

There are no streams or watercourses on this property, however, there is a small (less

than one hectare) wetland located in the north eastern corner of the woodlot (Appendix A). A 15 metre

buffer zone is to be maintained around this wetland.

Property Access

There is a small 250 metre class 2 forestry road that provides access to this property from the

Port Hill Station Road. This forestry road may have to be extended at some point to provide access to

more of the woodlot, however, there are no immediate plans to do this. Ongoing road maintenance will

be required to keep the road in a useable condition. This will include keeping the right-of-way clear of

any brush or trees, repairing rutting on the road, repairing any wet areas that restrict access, and any

other maintenance required to keep this road usable. The existing road on the property can be seen on

Appendix A

Property Boundaries

This property is bounded on the west and north by private land and on the east by Provincial

Forest. The southern boundary runs along the Port Hill Station Road.

Fire Protection

This property is located within the jurisdiction of the Tyne Valley Fire Department. The amount

of personnel and equipment used to fight any forest fires will depend greatly upon the size and severity

of the fire. Protection of our woodland from forest fire is the responsibility of the Forestry Division and

our local community fire brigades. In the Western District, there is a 900 gallon (gal) four wheel drive

Page 6: P.E.I. Public Forests

forestry fire truck housed at each of the Wellington and West Point Fire Departments. These heavy duty

trucks are available to assist the local fire department responsible for this area. Additional forestry fire

trucks, off road tracked vehicles, portable pumps and specialized forest fire suppression equipment are

available if needed.

Planting and Silviculture

There are six plantations on the property. It is recommended that any trees planted on the

property be assessed at regular intervals. These assessments will determine if the planted trees require

manual maintenance or fill planting as specified in the Forest Management Standards manual (Eco-

Manual). A list of all silviculture treatments completed on the property from 1991 to present is shown

in Appendix G.

Proposed Treatments

The 2006 Forest Policy “Moving to Restore a Balance in Island Forests” lays out the framework

for Public Land Forest management. The Eco-Manual provides details for prescribed treatments. All

work completed on this property must comply with that manual. Table 1 provides a summary of the

prescribed treatments on this property. This table will be updated as required when additional

treatments are prescribed. For a better understanding of the treatments prescribed, a more detailed

explanation is available in the Eco Manual, (www.gov.pe.ca/go/eco-manual). Any additional

information may be obtained by contacting a Provincial Forest representative at the District Forestry

Office in Wellington.

Stand Numbering relates to the position of the stand within a 100 X 100 grid cell over lay with the

minimum values in the southwest corner and the maximum values in the northeast corner.

A stand labeled 75 40 1 would be positioned within easting grid 75 and northing grid 40 and would be the

first stand within that grid cell.
