Cannon Hill Forest

Descriptions

Cannon Hill Forest is a seaside parcel named for the small knoll on which it rests. The height of the hill, at 229 above sea level, is in the southwest corner of the tract near the road frontage. From here, the hill slopes gently to the northeast, ending on fairly level ground in the propertys northeast corner. A gravel road provides central access off Cannon Hill Road, a paved town artery. The internal road skirts the east side of Cannon Hill where there are several rock outcroppings. With minimal clearing on the hill, there can be sweeping views of Cobscook Bay and the surrounding landscape of fields and forests.

The forest is comprised of a mix of well-stocked red spruce, balsam fir and white pine, which has not been managed in the past 25 years. The balance of the landscape has scattered pockets of open areas where the shallow soils inhibit significant tree growth but may be suitable for small-scale, wild blueberry cultivation. Native blueberries are a major crop in this region, known as Downeast Maine. Adjacent to New Brunswick, the areas landscape combines rocky seashore, blueberry fields, working forests and miles of rivers that feed into hundreds of ponds and lakes.
