municipal forests: the 33-acre <strong>Ipcar Natural Preserve<\/strong> in the Five Islands community, and the 30-acre <strong>Round the Cove<\/strong> forest behind the Georgetown Historical Society and the transfer station on Bay Point Rd.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Ipcar Preserve<\/strong> is actually two forest tracts, separated by Old Schoolhouse Rd.\u00a0 The tract on the east side (surrounded by Old Schoolhouse Rd.) is dominated by mature spruce of about 90-100 years old.\u00a0 The spruce are growing on very thin soils, characteristic of much of Georgetown, and are beginning to blow down. Blowdown is becoming an increasing problem for coastal communities all along the Maine coast.\u00a0 This is because many of the coastal forests were established in pastures that were abandoned about 100 years ago.\u00a0 The spruce are even-aged, and now nearing the end of their natural life expectancy.\u00a0 The problem has been exacerbated by increasingly violent storms and micro-bursts which may be the result of global warming.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gtownconservation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ipcar-aerial-map-1.0.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-2726\" src=\"https:\/\/gtownconservation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ipcar-aerial-map-1.0-300x190.png\" alt=\"Ipcar aerial map 1.0\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gtownconservation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ipcar-aerial-map-1.0-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/gtownconservation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ipcar-aerial-map-1.0-450x286.png 450w, https:\/\/gtownconservation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ipcar-aerial-map-1.0.png 622w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 2013 with funding from Project Canopy, a professional forester hired by the Conservation Commission completed an assessment of management options for both Ipcar and Round the Cove.<\/p>\n<p>One option for Ipcar was to preemptively harvest the spruce before a catastrophic blowdown event could occur.\u00a0 At a public meeting to consider the options in April of 2014, residents expressed a strong preference to let nature take its course rather than intervene in any way, in spite of the potential fire hazard created by leaving the many fallen trees.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the potential public safety hazard, this has made it challenging to maintain a trail system at Ipcar Preserve.\u00a0 However, in 2018 Conservation Commission work teams, with help from Bowdoin College seniors participating in Bowdoin&#8217;s Common Good Day,\u00a0 cleared, groomed and marked a trail system, which was re-opened in September with suitable fanfare. You are welcome to visit Ipcar and enjoy the surprise of this high wooded area in the midst of bustling Five Islands, with its mosses, small pond, and distant view of the Sheepscot.\u00a0 If you park at the Five Islands Town lot, the trail starts behind the municipal tennis court.\u00a0 Georgetown volunteers clear the trails of winter blowdown every spring. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
