Conceptual Approach to Land Conservation
Item Information
- Title:
- Conceptual Approach to Land Conservation
- Description:
-
One option for Martha’s Vineyard in keeping with the Wildlands and Woodlands and Food Visions for New England. Given the Island’s diverse land and ownership patterns, many feasible options exist for complementary stewardship embracing active woodland management, farming, and wildland reserves. In this schematic, large wildland reserves stretch from the State Forest to much of the Woods Preserve, Waskosim’s Rock Reservation, Seven Gates Farm, Cedar Tree Neck, Holly Holm, and Cape Higgon. Dispersed reserves elsewhere on the Island -- Ripley’s Field Preserve, West Chop Woods, Southern Woodlands Reservation, Gay Head Moraine, and parts of the Three Ponds Reservation -- could support fascinating habitat and provide access to wildlands across the Island. Much of the rest of the conserved woodlands and presumably many currently unprotected woodlands may be actively managed for diverse objectives, including aesthetics, habitat, firewood, and timber. Farming could expand to many open conservation areas.
