  • The study was undertaken to evaluate the production of game foods in four of the more common forest types occurring in Petersham, MA; namely, old field pine, pure pine, pine cuttings, and hardwoods. These four types, in the order named, constitute the usual succession on the better sites. All data included are for production of foods edible in winter. Data were taken in the field from October, 1936 to April, 1937.
