4 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). 3

5 Introduction The Goose River property, PID # , is one of the largest parcels of land currently under the management of Forest, Fish & Wildlife. This property contains five separate parcels of land, each with the same PID number. As a result of the size and locations of this property, this management plan will reference each portion of land into blocks. The blocks are named in alphabetical order from block A to block E and each will be described in detail below. Property Overview Location Property # is located on the Barry, Five Houses, and Goose River Roads, in the community of Goose River, P.E.I., (Appendix A). The total area of this property is 876 hectares (2165 acres) and the midpoint of the property represented in decimal degrees is latitude, longitude. Block A This block is located on the Barry Road, in the community of Goose River, P.E.I., (Appendix A). The total area of this property is 316 hectares (780 acres) and the midpoint of the property represented in decimal degrees is latitude, longitude. Block B This block is located on the Goose River Road, in the community of Goose River, P.E.I., (Appendix A). The total area of this property is 16.5 hectares (40.7 acres) and the midpoint of the property represented in decimal degrees is latitude, longitude. 4

6 Block C This block is located on the Goose River Road, in the community of Goose River, P.E.I., (Appendix A). The total area of this property is 14 hectares (34.6 acres) and the midpoint of the property represented in decimal degrees is latitude, longitude. Block D This block is located on the Five Houses and Goose River Roads, in the community of Goose River, P.E.I., (Appendix A). The total area of this property is 61.7 hectares (152.4 acres) and the midpoint of the property represented in decimal degrees is latitude, longitude. Block E This block is located on the Goose River Road, in the community of Goose River, P.E.I., (Appendix A). The total area of this property is 468 hectares (1156 acres) and the midpoint of the property represented in decimal degrees is latitude, longitude. Past Information Local records and previous aerial photography show that several areas on these property blocks have changed from farmland to forested land. The remaining portions of lands have had little change since To better illustrate this, 1968 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 5

7 of the property shows the general terrain profile, the ranges in elevation and the plantations currently on the property (Appendix F). Wetland and Watercourse Block A There are a number of wetlands/watercourses located within this block of property The first wetland/watercourse is located near the western boundary. This watercourse is part of the Oar River which flows in a northerly direction. Next are two wetlands located along the southern boundary, approximately in the middle of the property. The eastern boundary has several wetlands/watercourses, all of which make up parts of the McAskill River. These observations can be viewed in Appendix A. Block B There are two wetlands and one watercourse located within this block of property The watercourse is a tributary of the McAskill River system. This watercourse is accompanied along with a wetland on either side of the stream which flows across the northern portion of the property. The other wetland is located along the western boundary. These observations can be viewed in Appendix A. Block C There are currently no watercourses or wetlands located within this block of property This observation can be viewed in Appendix A. Block D There is one watercourse and a number of wetlands located within this block of property The watercourse is located in the middle of the property and is part of the McAskill River system. A wetland surrounds the watercourse along with four separate wetlands located in the southern half of the property. These observations can be viewed in Appendix A. 6

8 Block E There are a number of wetlands/watercourses located within this block of property One of the main watercourses located on the property is near the north western boundary. This watercourse is part of the Fox River which flows in a northerly direction. The main watercourse located on the property encompass most of the eastern half of the block. This watercourse is part of the Cow River which flows in a northerly direction. There are several wetlands located upon this block and are scattered uniformly across the land. These observations can be viewed in Appendix A. Property Access Access to this property is obtained through the use of a series of class 1 woods roads that are scattered throughout the land. Each block of land for property has at least one access road located within its boundary, with some blocks having more than others. 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 these roads usable. Existing roads on the property can be seen on Appendix A Property Boundaries This property has five parcels of land located within the same area but are not attached to each other. Each has several different landowners conjoined to its boundaries in which some are private landowners and some are designated crown land. Fire Protection This property is located within the jurisdiction of the St Peters Fire Department. The amount of personnel and equipment used to fight any forest fire will depend greatly upon the size and severity of 7

9 the fire. Protection of our woodland from forest fire is the responsibility of the Forest, Fish and Wildlife Division and our local community fire brigades. In the Eastern District, there is a 900 gallon (gal) four wheel drive forestry fire trucks housed at each of the Souris, East River and Georgetown 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 27 whole or partial plantations located 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 Ecosystem-Based Forest Management Standards manual (Eco-Manual). A list of all silviculture treatments completed on the property from 1990 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, ( eco-manual). Any additional information may be obtained by contacting a Provincial Forest representative at the District Forestry Office in Southampton. 8
