Environmental Science with a specialization in Earth System Science with a minor in Geography specializing in GIS from Clark University. She has experience working with Conservation Restriction Stewardship for a combination of a year, which includes writing baseline reports for Conservation Restrictions. She also has over 2 years of experience conducing conservation related field work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 6 Conservation Restriction History and Chronology Pine Grove Golf Course. The parcel protected by this Conservation Restriction and described in this report has long been considered a key conservation priority, both by Mass Audubon and the City of Northampton. One of the main reasons for Mass Audubon in particular was to preserve a well-known wildlife corridor running between Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary and the Berkshire hills. The 105-acre property comprises the western section of a relatively intact forest block that has been the target of a conservation partnership between the City of Northampton and Mass Audubon; this partnership has over the past few years conserved the adjacent Goldfarb, Open & Shut, Zewski and Hewes parcels, forming a conservation area known as the Rocky Hill Greenway. When the landowner made known in 2019 that he was retiring and selling the property, the City of Northampton began negotiations for the land, in partnership with Mass Audubon and Kestrel Land Trust. Kestrel was working with an organization called Green Burial Mass. They wanted to identify a location for a conservation/green burial operation. Both the City and Mass Audubon supported the concept. Unfortunately, the property was deemed to have too high a water table over too much of the acreage to be suitable for a green burial site. The City of Northampton made an offer to the landowner which was accepted. The City offered to purchase the open lands, and leave the existing home, club house and road access, telephone tower and acreage for limited potential residential development with the owner. The purchase of 105 vacant acres for $650,000 was accepted by Gil Verillo, landowner. The City asked that Mass Audubon hold the CR on this property which would become another addition to the Rocky Hill Greenway area. Because of the prior use of the property, significant restoration work will be required. The CR was drafted giving Mass Audubon the right but not the obligation to do the dam removal, riparian restoration, tree planting, and soil amelioration. The City applied for a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program grant in 2019 for funding to begin the restoration work, including removing the structures associated with drainage, some replanting of trees and scarification of ground to facilitate natural regeneration by existing tree stock. The City has also asked that up to 5 acres on the Old Wilson Road frontage be available for Community Gardens. The overall vision for the site is reforestation, in part to add to carbon sequestration in the City. The City received a LAND grant towards the purchase of the property, matched by CPA funds. The City has paid for the title, survey, appraisal and Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. Mass Audubon took the lead in drafting the CR and has prepared this Baseline Data Report. 7 Part II: Maps 8 Driving Directions Off Shoulder parking is available along Old Wilson Road Start Location: Mass Audubon Headquarters, Lincoln MA Miles 92.4, about 2-hour drive 1.

Conditions Relevant to the Conservation Values of the Property: Conservation Value Description Photos Open Space Protection Pine Grove adds to the protection of the scenic and natural character of Northampton. Majority of the golf course is open mowed grass excluding the most southern portion which is forested and the tree line buffers for the fairways The property’s eastern border is shared with Rocky Hill Greenway which has a block of protected lands on both sides of Route 10 0 Protection of Wildlife Habitat Pine Grove is located west of Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary and is part of a larger wildlife corridor connecting Arcadia to the western open spaces of Northampton. 0 Public Access Passive outdoor recreation such as hiking, education, and nature study is permitted on the premises. The property is indirectly connected to the Canal Line/Manhan Rail Trail. This is a heavily used trail that will benefit from the added preservation of Pine Grove. Pine Grove can be accessed from Old Wilson Road. Old Wilson Road is part of the northwestern boundary edge. It can also serve as temporary parking. Old Wilson Road: 1, 60 Water Quality Protection Pine Grove contains roughly 3,300 feet of the Nashawannueck Brook, and a small perennial stream that flows through the entire golf course. The banks of the Nashawannueck are extremely soured showing evidence of erosion. Majority of the banks of the stream have been altered. In the southern extent of the stream there are rocks that line the edge of the stream. Part of the restoration plan is to preserve, enhance and maintain the water quality. Restoration efforts will aim to provide a climate change adaption opportunity by improving the hydrological function of the Nashawannueck Brook. Stream: 17, 38, 61, 65, 67 Brook: 37 19 The topography map shows the extent of the stream and the pond in the center of the property Soils Pine Grove has 32 acres of Prime Farmland soils. Majority of the soil type is “Prime” with smaller sections of “Statewide Importance” soil. This is shown the soils map. The high-quality soils will help to promote productivity. Part of the restoration plan is to plan trees and included a community garden, both of which will benefit from the prime soils. 0 Furtherance of Government Policy, Northampton The property meets the goals of the Sustainable Northampton Plan, Northampton Community Preservation Plan, and Open Space, Recreation and Multi-use Trail Plan to protect open space, provide for passive recreation, mitigate climate change and protect open paces. 0 Furtherance of Government Policy, Massachusetts Protection of Pine grove is in accordance with Article 97 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and consistent with Community Preservation Act. 0 2.

How to amend this document This property is permanently protected as open space for conservation and passive recreational use only. It is difficult to anticipate all potential changes to the property that may occur, due to natural events, that may make it more or less appropriate for specific activities or uses. It is also difficult to know in the present the specific passive recreational uses future visitors to the site may want. For these reasons, it may become necessary in the future for portions of the Land Management Plan to be revised. Property acquired with LAND grant funding may not be used for active recreation. The following sections of this document may be revised: I.4. Contact information I.5. Land Management Plan sections: Permitted uses/activities Prohibited uses/activities Structures Stewardship plans Active management plans Any changes to these sections must still adhere to the LAND grant program regulations, Project Agreement, Article 97 requirements, and any other pertinent regulations. All changes must adhere to the terms of the Conservation Restriction, if applicable.

(GZA), is working on the long-term master plan of the eventual full restoration together with Mass Audubon. This will include the eventual removal of the dam. General: 1.Return the site to forest 2.Some of the existing pine trees will remain. Removal: 1. The structures associated with drains and the pond and irrigation will be removed. 2.Several concrete and wooden foot bridges will be removed (approximately 9). 3. Brick and stone stairways will be removed. 4.Barbed wire and steel grid fencing will be removed. 5. Two water stations and signs will be removed. Replanting: 1.It is proposed to start the replanting with deer resistant shrubs along the stream corridor. 2.It is proposed to drag a tree trunk around to scarify the ground and let the forest re-seed itself, beginning with the eastern part of the parcel near the existing woods. 3.It is proposed that trees will be bought and planted by June 20, 2020 a.Trees will be chosen based on their ability to produced seeds and help jump-start the forest. b. Volunteers will plant the bare root trees. Concerns: 1.Invasive species will come in after scarification Phases of the project: 2. Removal of catch basins, manholes, irrigation handholds, pumphouse, lose Jersey Barriers, barb wire, unnecessary stream crossings, scarification of 19 greens, cutting non- native trees, dam water level management. 3. Planting trees within area that will never be disturbed for restored wetlands with adequate protection and monitoring from deer and invasive species. 4. Long term planning for forest restoration and carbon sequestration 5. Master plan for eventual riparian channel floodplain, and wetlands restoration. Proposed Fund Sources: 1. Initial funds for Phase 1 coming from the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program. 2. Separate funding source for Phase 2. 33 Part V: Documentary Photographs and Waypoints 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 14 15 1819 20 2122 23 24 2526 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 USGS, MassGIS Pine Grove Golf Course Conservation Restriction Waypoints and Route Traveled 0 0.07 0.15 0.22 0.30.04 Miles ¯Baseline Waypoints_2020 Baseline Route Traveled PineGroveCR_Northampton06 02/12/2020, O.Barksdale, Source MassGIS, Basemap: MassGIS Data- USGS Color Ortho Imagery 2013-2014 Boundary; Plan Book Map 37 Lot 049 34 Waypoint Table Camera Device and Software App: LG G4 Smartphone using the Open Camera App GPS Make and Model: Bad Elf GNSS Surveyor Photographer: Nick Rossi GPS Operator: Olivia Barksdale Coordinate System of Photo Stamp: GCS WGS 1984 Date Waypoint Number Photo Number Location Description Photo File Name Azimuth in Degrees 01/28/2020 1 1 Northwest corner, wooden stake marking corner at the edge of the gas pipeline easement.
