Abstract
During the period of July, 1998 and December, 1999 a
comprehensive natural resource inventory was
conducted on the 163 acre Beech Hill Property in east
Keene, New Hampshire. Terms of the May 1998 RFP
called for an accounting of all abiotic and biotic
resources for the purposes of improving knowledge of
the property and for making Mure management
decisions. In addition, a careful delineation of wetlands
was requested in order to plan for a possible future sale
of a portion of Lot 907-22-20. Reid survey methods
included both quantitative and qualitative approaches in
order to document amphibians, reptiles, birds,
mammals, plants, and the natural communities in which
they exist. Owing to the size of the property, excellent
coverage of all elements was possible within the time
frame of the inventory. All data were tabulated and
mapped using ArcView 3.2. GIS map assistance was
gratefully provided by the Keene Planning Office and
Complex Systems Resources Center at UNH Durham.
Six bedrock geology types were identified through the
use of the statewide bedrock geology map (1998) and
field identification of outcrops and large gladal drift.
Fairly unique to the region was the presence of a
Devonian quartz diorite I gabbro that has a fairly high
(class 2) calcium weathering potential. Mineral rich
pockets of stony, fine sandy loam soils were found
throughout the property, which supported a variety of
drcumneutral to slightly basic soil-loving plants. Thirty
soil map units were present, representing 13 soil types.
Being an upland landscape, only 3.7 acres (1.5 ha) of
wetlands were found, or 2.3% of the property. Rve
seasonal to perennial streams were found with a
drainage density of 8,575 ft. per square mile ( 4222
m/km) and a maximum discharge rate of .66 cfs (.019
ems). Six separate wetland areas were delineated, two
of which were assodated with the above streams. All
involved forested wetland types with a mix of
hardwoods and conifers in the overstory. Two vernal
pools were positively identified on the ~ Hill
property by virtue of the presence of breeding wood
frog and/or spotted salamanders. A third site (wetland
1A) appeared to have insufficient inundation for
successful breeding. Being mostly an upland, wooded
habitat, only two species of reptiles were found - garter
snake and black rat snake. The latter was a historical
record (pers. obs.) from 1987. Six breeding bird survey
(BBS) point count stations were established during the
height of breeding season, and 46 species were
observed, of which 12 were confirmed breeders, 20
were probable breeders, and 14 were possible breeders.
An additional 18 non-breeding species were observed
either during the BBS or at other times during the study
time period. Twelve (26%) of the 46 species observed
during the BBS were nee-tropical migrants, of which
red-eyed vireo, ovenbird, and scarlet tanager were the
most abundant. Ave line intercept transects totaling
3300 meters were run 2 to 3 times to record snow
tracks of mammals. Seventeen of the 38 mammal
species that were observed on Beech Hill were observed
along the 8.25 km of track transect effort. Of the 1432
track intercepts recorded, gray squirrel was the most
frequent mammal observed (N=371), followed by whitetailed deer (N=332), red squirrel (N=277) and domestic
dog (N= 156). Vascular plants were recorded during
every month of the study time period, although
herbaceous species were primarily observed during
intensive growing season surveys of representative
habitats. Approximately 286 species were recorded, of
which 46 (16%) were non-native. No state-listed rare
species were seen, although a significant patdl of the
unusual Ieatherwood (Dirca pa/usttis) was observed in a
semi-rich hardwood forest. The latter contained the
most diversity of the ten natural community types that
were identified according to the classification system of
the NH Natural Heritage Program. The most abundant
type was hemlock-beech-oak-pine, which covered over
114 acres (70%) of the total area. A number of younger
successional stands were present, although the majority
of the Beech Hill Forest was found to be in the mature
(50 - 100 years old) state. The rarest natural community
type included the two vernal pool areas (.08 acres),
although the semi-rich mesic sugar maple-beech forest
contained the most plant species diversity on account of
its position over caldum-rich bedrock. Approximately 3.5
miles of trails or roads exist on the property, most of
which were observed to be receiving continual use.
Many of these byways were established on Beech Hill
over 150 years ago, and most pass by one or more of
the roughly 15 cultural sites on the 163 acres. No cellar
holes were found on this thin-soil site, although one old
residence, four foundations, 2 chimneys, 6 wells, 3
spring holes, and several miles of stone fences were
observed.
Overall, the Beech Hill property serves the public needs
for open space quite well, and in spite of its close
proximity to a large fX>pulation center, still contains a
fair amount of roadless backland. This relatively rugged
territory currently supports both an aesthetic and
recreational appeal to thousands of human visitors, as
well as enough habitat for a considerable diversity of
native flora and fauna.

BACKGROUND and SCOPE
On the 27th of April1998, a Request for Proposals (RFP # 04-98-16) was received from Brian
Mattson of the Oty of Keene Parks and Recreation Department. This RFP was in keeping with the
Management Policy for Public Park Lands, which calls for inventories on all public forests and
undeveloped open space. Previous conversations had indicated the desire on the part of the City
to conduct comprehensive natural resource inventories on all Oty lands. The author had
completed an extensive study of "Significant Biological Interest Areas" on the 1000-acre Greater
Goose Pond Forest in 1995-1996, and was familiar with a number of the City properties, having
lived in the area for 28 years. The submitted bid was accepted and work began on June 22,
1998. The approximate scope, as identified in the RFP, was as follows:
1) Both flora and fauna during at least a full .year of observation was to be documented,
using NH Natural Heritage Inventory protorols for plants and NH Fish & Game
Department's protocols for animals;
2) The inventory was to contain a discussion of soils, surficial geology, and bedrock,
based on observations and local records;
3) Wetlands were to be identified and delineated based on hydric soils, hydrophytic
plants, and hydrology (i.e. according to US Army Corps standards);
4) Water resources were to be mapped and discussed in accordance with relationships
to abutting properties;
5) The Paragon Cable company parcel was to be considered an "out'' lot, although any
measurable effects on adjacent natural resources was to be noted;
6) A portion along Chapman Road that was identified for possible public sale was not to
be included in the inventory;
7) Any scars or remains from the land's history was to be recorded;
8) The inventory was to be scientifically accurate and comprehensive.
The list of natural and cultural resources included in the inventory is as follows:

t\ total of seven seasons vvere actually used in the recording of natural and cultural resou rce~
data, and an eighth season, this past winter, was used to complete the GIS maps and overlays of
the property's resources. Protocols generally follovvecl those described above, although some
mocliflcation using Van de Poll (1996) was employecl for wildlife inventories. Several neighbors
and other knovvledgeable individuals who were familiar with the area were consulted fo r
anecdotCll information about Beech Hill. The Cily of Keene Planning Depa 1t ment and Public Works
Department also provided invaluable map data for the completion of the base and parcel line
maps. The following report contai ns a descriptive account of each of the above-listed natural or
cultural resources, along with data summaries and GI S maps in an Appendix.

METHODS
Gcograpt1ic Information System (GIS) mapping was completed using ArcView 3.2 on a desktop
con1putcr. Rhett Lamb from the Keene City PIC!nning office provided DLG files for the Cily of
Keene, whicl-, contained tax parcel information, water resource data, and political data as
provided by Complex Systems Resource Center (CSRC) at UNH Durham. CSRC also provided NH
GRANIT data information to Antioch New England Graduate School on CD ROM. These digital
fil es were used as base line information from which all GI S maps were created and or modified.
Revisions to specific overlay maps were made through tape and/or pace and compass
measurements in the field according to known reference points. No attempts were made to
"point in" the data using a Global Positioning System (GPS). Given the small siz~ of the property
and the ease in n~locating all of the point data, a GPS was deemed unnecessary. It should be
noted that the size of the Beech Hill propetty according to t he tax map varies slightly from the
digitally created oounclary map. A difference of 2.8 acres (160.2 versus 163) was noted.
Bedrock geology data was derived from the 1998 provisional bedrock geology map of New
Hampshire, as pmmulgated by the Department of Resources and Economic Development. Dan
Sundquist of the Society for the Protection of NH Fores ts kindly made the digital fil es available to
me for use. Bedrock information was also derived from George C. Moore's Geology of the KeeneBratiielxxo Quadrangle, published by the NH Planning and Development Commission in 1949. I n
spite of the alterations of bedrock types by Charles P. Lyons in his publication of the "Interim
Bedrock G(;.'Oiogy Map of New Hampshire" in 1996, Hoare's publication was useful in deriving
identifying information on the stratigraphy types for field purposes. The descriptive list of bedrock
types that accompanies the 1998 digital map was also very useful in determining field
characteristics. Point data on the attached ma p indicate surficial ledge, outcrop, or large ooulder
sites where formation and stratigraphy types were identifiable. No attempt was made to map the
glacial drift as this contained a number of erratic bedrock types from north of t he study area.
Beech II ill Nat ural Resource Inventory Report
R. Van de Poll
Soil rnap information was derived from the paper and digital forms of the Soil Swvey of Ches/Jirc:
Count;~
published by the USD/-\ Soil Conservation Service (now the Natural Resource
Conservation Service) in 1989. Map unit lines were changed on the digital version of the survey
bused on a site specific soil inventory following the methocl published in Site Specific Soil
Mdpping in New Hamps!Jire and Vermont; published by the Soil Society of Northern New England
in 1.997. A tile spade and dutch soil auger was used in confirming or changing soil map unit li nes
based on soil morphological featur es . Soil profile data were not r·ecorded but were used to make
an immediate soil type determination in the field. ~llap unit codes were then transcribed on field
sheets and us·:d later in the office to derive map unit boundary changes . Slope variations were
made both in the field, and based on the 5-foot contour interval data provided by the City of
Keene' Planning Department.
Water resources were mapped and inventoried according to both digital and field data. Wetlands
were identified and delineated using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1987 Vl/etlands
Delineation r-1anual (Tecl1nical Report Y-1-87). The Routine On-site ~llethod was incorporated,
wherein vegetation, soils, and hydrology were recorded on data sheets (see Appendix) . Wetland
boundaries were walked with tape and compass, and then transferred to the digital base map
using the map-measuring tool. Streams were located on the digital DRG rnap of the Keene
topographic quadrangle, and tl1en in the Aeld. Stream course layouts were modified on the digital
base rnap according to visual obse1vation, and appro>eirnate velocity and discharge rates were
measured using a 10-cm depth grid and neutral-buoyant floating object (Van de Poll l996).
Discharge rates were derived at approximate mean high water levels in December 1998 at sites
with low channel resistance levels.

Vernal pools were identified during the initial field site visits in the summer of 1998, and revisited
during the spring of 1999 and spring of 2000. The latter data was used to confirm species
presence, since the month of April 1999 was one of the driest on record. Since the vernal pools
were so small, an intensive survey according to Heyer et al (1994) was completed on all pools.
Amphibian egg masses, larvae, and adults were counted, mean depth was measured, dissolved
oxygen (DO) was recorded using a LaMotte Digital Oxygen Meter, pH was recorded using a
Beckman D-100 Digital pH Probe, and temperature was measured using a Taylor digital air-water
temperature probe. A sketch of each pool was completed in the field based on compass and
fiberglass tape measurements, and transferred to the digital base map.
All vascular plants were recorded during 16 site visits to the Beech Hill property. Identifications
were made in the field, or through a careful collection and the use of reference manuals in the
office. Nomenclature followed Kartesz (1998)1, Magee and Ahles (1999), and Gleason and
Cronquist (1992) in that order. Common names followed Newcomb (1977). Rare and endangered
plant species records for the Beech Hill area were checked in Concord at the N.H. Natural
Heritage Inventory offices. A tally of species was kept on a field data list and entered into a
Microsoft database upon conclusion of the field season.
Natural Community types were identified in the field according to A Guide to the Natural
Communities ofNew Hampshire (1996) by Dan Sperduto of the N.H. Natural Heritage Inventory.
Since most of the Beech Hill property was comprised of mature forests, it was fairly easy to
identify the "climax'' types upon inspection of the canopy species. Some interpretative estimates
were required on the northeast-slopes, however, owing to the recent logging, a younger forest,
past disturbances, and the fact that the natural communities in this area appear to reflect a
transition between two major types (e.g. hemlock-beech-oak-pine and hemlock-northern
hardwoods). Map unit boundaries were located in the field through compass and pace
measurements from known reference points. Oa:asionally, these boundaries were adjusted in the
office based upon soil, bedrock, or water resource data as recorded in the field. Wetlands and
vernal pool natural communities were carefully delineated in the field and have correspondingly
more accurate placement on the digital overlay map of natural communities.
Wildlife assemblages were monitored according to the diversity of types present, the season of
observation, and the needs of the project. Vernal pool amphibians were surveyed according to
the above methods (Heyer et at 1994), stream salamanders were actively searched for in suitable
5
R. Van de Poll
habitats by turning over cover objects, and terrestrial salamanders were noted during rainy days,
and through cover object searches conducted in selective areas of the property. Birds were
monitored throughout the year, however an intensive breeding bird survey was conducted during
the first spring (June- July 1998) according to Ralph, Droege, and sauer (1992). Six point count
stations were established in the eastern section of Beech Hill in a mixture of habitats that were
representative of the property as a whole. Ten-minute observation periods were repeated for
each station. in a random order during a total of 3 count days. Subsequent searches before and
after the count time periods for breeding evidence was conducted. Species were recorded during
each field site visit/ and breeding evidence was recorded according to Foss (1995). A statistical
representation of the data was derived using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software.
Mammals were also monitored during each of the 16 site visits. Five line intercept transects were
established during the fall of 1998 and surveyed during the course of the subsequent winter.
Track counts were completed on the 3700 meters of transect during three count days (January 8,
January 301 and March 81 1999). Notes were made on all mammal sign, induding track, browse1
rubbing, chew marks, scat1 excavations/ den sites, and body parts. Anecdotal information on
visiting furbearers, particularly those that are infrequent visitors to Beech Hill 1 was also provided
by neighbors AI Stoops, Sue Mansfield, Bill Schenck, Carl Jacobs Jr., and Bill Lynch.
Cultural resources were identified in the field and mapped as point data on a GIS overlay map.
Brian Mattson provided an overview of the some of the known information on the sites at the
outset, and AI Stoops, Carl Jacobs Jr. 1 Judy St. Gelais, and Bill Lynch provided additional
information. An initial mapping of trails and byways were contained on the DLG maps provided
by Rhett Lamb, however, many of these required revisions as to their exact location. Several
other "soda! trailstt were discovered that were not previously identified or recorded. These were
mapped according to compass and tape or pace field data, although no attempt was made to
digitize all of the trailways or provide exact locations for them. It should be noted that the Beech
Hill area has undergone a great deal of human disturbance for the past 200 years, and that no
exhaustive historical accounting of its features went into this inventory. It is suggested that
further inquiries be made on those point locations that are identified on the attached cultural
resources map.

RESULTS & DISCUSSION
A. Bedrock and Surficial Geology
The bedrock map in the Appendix illustrates the 1998 approximation of stratigraphy information
on the Beech Hill area. Four bedrock types are recorded for the Beech Hill property itself, and
another 2 types were identified from field visits to outcrops, ledges, and large boulders. The
following represent these types in their approximate order of abundance:

metasedimentary rocks

Both the Silurian Clough Quartzite and the Ammonoosuc volcanics are not mapped for the
property but are fairly dose in their placement in the general area. Good exposures of both types
exist on West Hill in Keene, where Moore (1949) reported a similar formation type- a downdropped block or graben in younger country rock - as is reported for Beech Hill. The Oough
material was found running in a north-south vein to the west of the main ridge (see map). In
dose assodation with it was the one outcrop of dark phase Ammonoosuc metavolcanic schist,
where a small and unusual plant community was present.
The salt-and-pepper appearance of the most common rock type, the biotite-granodiorite, was
evident throughout the summit and east side of Beech Hill. Two quarry piles of this material was
discovered (see cultural resources map), and several good exposures exist on the east slope of
7
R. Van de Poll
the hill. The hypersthene and hornblende elements of this formation were responsible for the
circumneutral soils and caldphilic plants associated with them (e.g. Carex p!atyphylla/ Dirca
palustris/ Hepatica nobilis/ and Aquilegia canadensis). The plant indicators were actually good
'markers' for the extent of this bedrock type in mature forested areas.
Whereas most of the western slope was marked as
Partridge Formation mica schist, few elements of this
type were found. Much of the gladal overburden in this
area instead contained stones and small boulders of the
Oliverian granite and tonalite. This was not too
surprising, given the erosive nature of the Partridge
slaty-schists and their high weathering potential.
Oliverian granites were found farther up the slope than
what the map indicated, however, and suggests that the
"wedge" of Partridge may be narrower than what is
mapped. While the Oliverian granites are fairly soft, they
do exceed the Partridge Formation mica schists in their
resistance to erosion.
Stony glacial overburden on west slope
In terms of the surficial geologic characteristics of Beech Hill, very little discernment was
required. The upland nature of the topography suggests that the substrate is entirely a thin
mantle of glacial till. Exposed ledge in several places indicates the scraping action of the gladers
- several glacial striations were visible on the summit rocks as well as at t he open ledge
viewpoint. As was expected, most of the basal till that contained hardpan soils at depths of 1 to 3
feet were present on the north and northwesterly slopes of the hill. The remainder of the
substrates, with the exception of the small pockets of glacio-fluvial sediments at t he west base of
the property, were ablational tills of loosely sorted, multi-sized particles. Surface stones are
frequent throughout the property, although few large boulders are present.
B. Soils
Soil types on the Beech Hill property largely followed the mapping regime of the Natural
Resource Conservation Service as depicted in the Soil SwveyofCheshire County(1989). Some
modifications were required, particularly regarding inclusions of wetter soils on the west slope of
8
R. Van de Poll
the hill. In addition, several changes to the slope designations were made, especially on the main
ridgeline to the south of the summit. An inclusion of the very steep and ledgy Lyman-TunbridgeRock outcrop complex was identified immediately to the east of the summit, and the two wetland
pockets were added in the northeast and southeast corners, respectively. The following chart
summarizes the soil types on the Beech Hill Property:

type of soils on Beech Hill. Both are basal tills and have firm substrata that impede surface water
percolation. Peru soils particularly can create surface water pockets and deep mud in areas away
from what is normally considered a wetland. Erosion potential is severe on steeper slopes, and
logging at inappropriate time periods in the past has contributed to significant surface impacts in
certain areas. Berkshire and Monadnock soils, the second largest group of soils on Beech Hill,
have deeper substrata and better drainage capability, and surface stones in most of the phases .

that are represented on the property provide some impediment to downward soil creep. Good
growing conditions for all common tree species are present in these soil types.
The hydric soil areas are primarily low elevation
sites where water tables remain at or near the
surface for most of the growing season. The
Pillsbury soils listed above are uncommon, largely
because of the upland nature of the property,
although two areas exist at present. The largest
includes the definitional boundary of wetland #1
in the northeastern corner of the property. The
second are lies along a shallow drainageway in the
east central portion right along the edge of the
property. Both sites exhibit higher than usual
organic matter in the surface horizons, and very
fine sandy loams to silt loams in the substrata.
Surface stones are prevalent in both areas,
although wetland #1 appears to have been
cleared of some of its stones for pasturage in the
early to mid-1800's.
Classic result of high water tables on perched soils
The only location of truly organic soils was the vernal pool - spring seepage area in the
southeastern corner. Wetland #3 supported greater than 16 inches of mucky peat as a result of
continual saturation from surface water discharge throughout the year. The silt and loam based
substrata suggested this soil type was in the Ossipee series, although selected microsites of this
area contain an admixture of mineral material that grades into the Rippowam series. Better
representation of the latter soil type can be found at the west base of Beech Hill, where a
perennial stream provides greater water movement and the consequent removal of organic
debris. While mucky pockets exist in this soil type as well, the shallow depth of these
accumulations suggest a soil series that formed in periodically flooded, alluvial soils.

C. Wetlands & Water Resources
Six distinct wetland areas were found on the Beech Hill property. The above description of hydric
soils refers to each of these areas, although the wetland summary sheets in the Appendix
provides a much more thorough documentation of them. The following table summarizes the
findings:

The Routine On-site Method of the 1987 Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual
was used to determine the wetland ooundary. Three-plot transects were established in wetlands
#1, #2, and #3 in order to characterize vegetation, soils, and hydrology at each site. Data sheets
were filled out at each site (see Appendix), and a subsequent tape and compass survey of the
wetland boundary was completed. Hydric soil checks with a Dutch soil auger were also completed
at each vertex point. All measurements were transferred to the GIS base map in order to derive
acreage of each wetland polygon.
Owing to the predominantly forested canopy and stony, hummocky terrain of sites #1, #2, and
#3, some of the plant dominance did not yield a positive indication of the presence of
hydrophytic vegetation. Rationale for indusion of these plots in the wetlands area was based on
the noted "problem area" associated with FAOJ-dominated forests, especially where the
dominant tree species is hemlock or white pine. These two species tend to acidify the subsoil
environment to the exdusion of adequate herbaceous plant indicators of hydrology. This was
found to be true in plots T2-1, T2-2, and T3-2. In these cases, ooth hydrology and hydric soil
indicators were primarily used to determine the wetland boundary as per the stated method for
problem area wetlands in the 1987 Army Corps Manual. It should also be noted that although
these wetland plots were completed in November, more than adequate herbaceous plant
remnants remained for the estimation of full growing season dominance in each stratum.

Riparian wetland along western edge of property near Woodland Avenue
Overall, the wetland acreage of t he Beech Hill
property contributed less than 2.4% to the total
area. Each wetland unit is fairly isolated from
other wetland areas, and therefore serves as an
important local resource for floral and faunal
diversity. This was particularly true for wetland
#3, which contained a vernal pool that supports
both wood frogs and spotted salamanders. The
largest wetland acreage, sites #1 and #1A (2.02
ac.) was located adjacent to and in the slated land
for public sale area. This area, while not defined
on the map, was described during a site walk by
the author and the Keene Conservation
Commission in the summer of 1998. Since the
small, pocket wetland of .02 acres was t he only
wetland unit wholly within the proposed sale area,
it appears that the wetlands on this site will not
materially const rict its development for a single
family residence. Adequate buffering to the
drainageway wetland (#1) should occur, however,
if the site is to be developed .

Other water resources were inventoried during this phase of the NRI. The wetlands themselves
were part of four separate stream drainages that flowed out of or through the property. Wetland
#1 formed the hydrologic discharge point for stream #1, wetland #2 for stream # 2, wetland #3
for stream #3, wetland #4 for stream Sa and wetland #5 for stream # Sb (see water resources
map in Appendix) . Two of the streams, #1 and #2, had very low water levels for most of the
year and were considered intermittent. Stream #3 had a slightly higher seepage discharge, and
was marginally perennial . Stream #4 and #5 was a part of the same perennial stream system
that drains the west side of Beech Hill and a portion of Robin Hpocl Park. The following table
summarizes the stream data:

Stream density for the Beech Hill Property was calculated at 8,575 ft. per square mile ( 4222

for stream #4, and .66 cfs (.019 ems) for stream #5. All three perennial streams appeared to be
without sediment at the time of sampling (November), and although no water quality tests were
performed, the apparent health of the streams was good relative to the observations of both
fauna and flora. This was even true for stream #5, which is immediately adjacent to several
residential properties and contained a fair amount of trash and rubbish in its environs.
D. Vegetation I Natural Communities
A total of 286 vascular plants were recorded for the Beech Hill property. Roughly 16% (N=46) of
the species were non-natives from outside the region or country. This is a relatively low number
of alien spedes, considering the level of prior disturbance to the Beech Hill area. However, the
current condition of the property is primarily forested (>98%), and most of the forest cover types
have not been severely disturbed in the last 100 years. The most recent severe disturbance was
in the form of logging in the mid-1980's. A large portion of the upper part of lot 907-22-20 was
selectively cut at that time. Oak and pine was the predominant species that was removed for saw
13
R. Van de Poll
logs, and a mixture of intolerant and tolerant hardwoods was also removed for palette stock and
fuelwood. No report on the amount of softwood pulp, if any, was received.

No known rare or endangered species were observed on the property during the study time
period. However, two regionally uncommon species, Ieatherwood ( Dirca pa/ustris) and silveryflowered sedge ( Carex foenea), were recorded. The Ieatherwood occurred in the semi-rich forest
in the south central part of the property (see Natural Community Map). The underlying bedrock,
moist drcumneutral soils, and lack of recent disturbance was likely responsible for its occurrence.
At least 93 individuals were counted over a 2.5-acre area. The oldest individuals appeared to be
approximately 60 years old, as based on the annular ring counts which can be made on this
species. The oldest individual (shrub) was approximately 3.5 feet high and was immediately
adjacent to the eastern fork of the intermittent drainage. Assodated species in this semi-rich site
included hepatica (Hepatica nobilis), taper-tip rush (Luzu/a acuminata), spotted coralroot
( Coral/orhiza maculata), spring beauty ( Claytonia caroliniana), and broad-leaved sedge ( Carex
platyphyl/a).
Semi-rich woods with Ieatherwood south of the summit

R. Van de Poll
The silvery-flowered sedge occurred in the open woodland along the western escarpment of
Beech Hill. In this dry, thin soil at least 5 plants were observed near the base of the ledge in the
vicinity of the viewpoint. This plant is endangered in Vermont and is listed as a special concern
plant in New Hampshire owing to its limited distribution. Its occurrence on Beech Hill is diagnostic
of the open, dry habitat that the western escarpment represents. It has likely persisted in this
environment for+/- 200 years on account of maintenance of pasturage and an open view.
Artificial maintenance of this open habitat through repeated cutting of the view opening should
maintain this species.
An additional rare plant site was found just off the property, and was indicative of the "sweet"
soils that inhabit selected locales on Beech Hill. Ebony spleenwort (Asplenium ebenoides) was
found just below the single Ammonoosuc Formation outcrop at the western edge of the property
below the escarpment. Other plants such as wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) and
dutchman's-breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) were also indicative of the rich soils. Also in this area
was a single individual of sedge that keyed out to Carex cepha/ophora. If this turns out to be
accurate, this would represent another regionally rare species that is at the northern limit of its
range in this part of the state. Subsequent searches for this plant have been unsuccessful thus
far.
Correlated with the distribution of unusual plants was the
occurrence of recognizable natural community types that
support such species. A total of ten natural community
~~~~*'-._.~
types according to Sperduto (1996) were identified during
the study time period (see Appendix). The most prevalent
type was the hemlock-beech-oak pine natural community,
which was identifiably present on over 70% of the
property. Interestingty, the distribution of this community
type j ust about matches the mixed and softwood cover
types of the GAP Analysis Land Cover Map (see Appendix).
Eastern hemlock and American beech are dominant on
upland side-slope till soils, with red oak and white pine as
intermediate associates. Wind, ice, fire, and pathogens
have apparently maintained openings in the shade-tolerant
hemlock-beech c9ver to create opportunities for these latter
two shade intolerant species to survive.
Hemlock-beech woods at west base

R. Van de Poll
Second to this natural community type in abundance was the hemlock-beech-northern
hardwoods type on the northern slopes of Beech Hill. This type occurs as an intergrade between
the hemlock-beech-oak-pine of warmer, more southerly locations and the pure northern
hardwood (beech-birch-maple) forests of cooler, more northern areas. Because of this, the
boundary line as marked on the natural communities type map should be regarded as
approximate, espedally in light of the fact that this area has been fairly recently disturbed by
logging. Determination of the type in this area was based on the obvious prevalence of beech
and hemlock in the understory and the near absence of red oak.
The above-mentioned semi-rich mesic sugar maple-beech forest to the south of the summit is
easily identifiable both by virtue of its pure hardwoods cover type and the presence of mature
trees. The bedrock and soil types, and mesic nature of this site will likely continue to provide
excellent growing conditions for this type of community. Without further disturbance to the
integrity of the forest, it is possible that the colluviation of soil nutrients in this somewhat stony
area could support a rich forest type in another 75-100 years.
About as unique and on the other end of the soil richness spectrum was the dry oak-white
pine/ironwood woodland along the edge of the western escarpment. This community has been
prehistorically supported by wind and lightening-caused fires. Given that the forest type has fairly
recently regrown to a mature state, the very same effects have already begun to recreate
suitable conditions for a woodland (i.e. < 60% canopy dosure). On July 6, 1999, a thunderstorm
of significant magnitude blew down almost all of the large white pines and several smaller red
oaks on the edge of the escarpment. 2 The canopy is now open to the regeneration of red oak
and white pine in this continually maintained short-rotation forest.

It should be noted that this storm also blew down a half-acre of younger pines and hardwoods adjacent to
wetland # 1 in the northeastern comer of Beech Hill.

Th0 csc-1rpmen t v<oodland represents t he oak-pine variant of this forest wherein three patches
of an adjacent natural community type contCJins a larger portion of ironvvood or hop horni:Jeam

ancl oak-pine; v<lriant. This type also contains a lar~)er number of sedge and grass species that
typically form a "turf" beneath the ironwood.
Only two mesic soil patches of the sugar maple-beech-yellow birch forest exist on Beech Hill. The
northern-most one lies in a slightly mon: mesic r'1arlow soil type on the north-facing slor:x= of
Beech rlill. The absence of a hemlock component in this forest segregates this from the adjacent
and more prevalent hemlock-beech··northel n h;Jrdvvood forest. The southerly unit sits next to the
semi-rich forest, and si1nilar to it, contains a predominance of beech and sugar maple. The soils
are poorer and thinner, however, and few of the circurnneutral soil pla nt indicators nrc present in
the herbaceous layer.
Al~-;o associated with sub-acidic, mesic soi ls 01 1 meso-calciphilic bedrock is the beecl1 natural
community lype. At least three stands totaling 4.3 acres we1·e identified and mapped on Beech
Hill. As the so-called "nZJmesake" of the hill, it is likely that these stands will increase in size over
time, especially as the reel oak component matures and ultimately gets shaded out. This would
require long-term stability, hovvever, whicl1 may not be possible given the frequency and strength
of hurricanes and micm-windburst events t11at are likely on the steep west slope.

souU1east of t he open ledge vista ancl 145 feet SSW of the southernmost loop of the t rail south

although full-water levels increased thfs to 72 by 17 feet on April 5, 2000. The average maximum
depth at full W<rter was approximately 12 inches. Wood frog egg masses had h<Jtched by fVJay 5,
1999, and hundreds of young larvae were observed t hroughout the pool. A total of 14 egg
masses were counted on April 5, 2000. Evidence of spotted salamanders (spennatophores) was
obse1ved only in April 2000. Dissolved oxygen levels were measured at 2.4 ppm (1 3.2.* C.) at 6
inches depth, and pH was recorded at 5.6 at the surface and 4.1 on the bottom (1999) .

Both red-backed salamander (Piethodon dnereus) and red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus
viridescens) were observed in abundance throughout the Beech Hill area. A ten-minute timed
search for the first species resulted in 13 individuals, inclusive of 3 erythristic rnorphs. This survey
was conducted with the assistance of AI Stoops and took place in a half-acre area just north of
the first trail fork (Transect AlSO) in the northern part of the property. Red-spotted salamanders
in the eft stage were observed on 5 of the field days during the growing season. The plurality of
the sightings were made in the three wetland areas on the eastern half of the property (#1, #2,
& #3), although scattered records were made in moderately well-drained sites in the northern
portion. This was particularly true for the hemlock natural community type and the adjacent
hemlock-beech-northern hardwood forest It is likely that the population of both species of
terrestrial salamanders on the Beech Hill property are representative of the region as a whole.
Only two species of reptiles were observed on the Beech Hill property. Given the near lack of
open water, this was not surprising as far as turtles are concerned. A mostly unbroken forested
habitat also restricted the occurrence of snakes, although the very abundant garter snake
( Thamnophis sirtalis) was an exception to this general scarcity. Garter snakes were observed at
the open ledge vista, near the water tank1 in the northern-most beech forest, and in several
semi-shaded locales on the west slope of the hill. It is probable that this species represents
> 90% of the snake abundance on the property. The only other snake record was of a black racer
( Co/uber constrictot} at the edge of the property along Water Street in 1987. The adult individual
was over four feet long and was crossing the road into Robin Hood Park.
F. Birds
A breeding bird point count was conducted during the first growing season of the survey time
period. Six point count stations were established in the eastern part of the property in habitats
that were representative of the mix of habitats on the property (see Wildlife Survey map in the
Appendix). Surveys were completed on three days, June 24, June 27, and July 12, 1999.
Observational counts were made based upon visual and auditory records of all individuals within
a ten-minute time period. A table of species and individual station records can be found in the
Appendix.
A total of 254 individuals representing 39 species was tallied during the point count effort. An
additional 7 species were recorded during the inter-transect walks. Red-eyed vireos were the
most frequent (N==SS), followed by ovenbird (N==33), scarlet tanager (N==16), eastern woodpewee (N==14) and American crow (N==14). A total of 12 species were confirmed breeders, 20

and plant communities, and can even provide further learning opportunities for the residents of
Keene.
At present, it does not appear that overuse or abuse by resident cats or dogs is greatly altering
the native fauna species. One deer-chase dog trail was located this past winter, but this appears
to be rare. Songbird populations appeared just as abundant near residential areas than away
from them, and I suspect that inroads by cats on these animals are far greater in the lawn and
garden areas around the homes themselves. There does not appear to be any species of
mammals, birds, amphibians or reptiles that currently reside on the Beech Hill property that are
being prevented from residing or reproducing on the property. While bobcats and bears could
occur on Beech Hill, the residential neighborhood quality of the Beech Hill property will not likely
support these species in any permanent way. Some of these habitat fragmentation effects were
witnessed in the songbird domain, and the presence of brown-headed cowbirds, tufted titmice,
and cardinals suggested that broken habitat species will mntinue to compete for food and space
resources on the edge of the property. This effect has been and will continue to be unavoidable.
It is hoped that this document will help provide the basis for an interpretive guide to the Beech
Hill woods, not unlike the 'Guide to the Children's Woods' that Antioch New England Graduate
School put together for Robin Hood Park in the 1980's. With the large number of visitors present
and the potential for school programs, this site 'NOuld be greatly enhanced by the addition of
interpretive literature. A guidebook with numbered stops 'NOUid be preferable, since the largely
unmonitored nature of this recreation fadlity 'NOuld be less subject to vandalism than if
interpretive signs were provided. The abundant presence of trails and byways on the property
would also make this educational objective quite doable at little expense to the Oty.
I would also enmurage a more thorough treatment of the cultural resources on the property.
Whereas the RFP only called for a listing and map of observed sites, the smpe of this project did
not for allow the research and publication of detailed information suitable for a historical guide.
Historical remrds muld inform the understanding of natural rommunity development on Beech
Hill, and muld also be integrated into an interpretive acrounting of the area's current and past
visitors. With the high degree of cultural and natural resource diversity present on such a small
tract of land, it is clear that the Oty of Keene would be remiss if it were not to mnsider the
development of more publidy available information on the Beech Hill property.
