Title:

Clearcutting and Erosion Along Barnard Pond

Date:: 1860 - 1890
Description:: Stereoview shows Barnard Pond with fields and the village in background separated by stone walls. The foreground reveals evidence of clearcutting with only stumps and angular boulders remaining and soil erosion occurring along the shore. Riparian zone is just lightly vegetated. Low hills in the background beyond the water are partially forested and there appears to be a church. Esther Munroe Swift writes on 2006-2-15: This image presents a good example of what was happening to the forest cover in the last century and into this one, when timber was one of the few marketable products Vermont had. It still goes in some areas. A very large & visible cut over area can be seen from Route 2 across the Winooski River on the Montpelier/Barre Road today.
