Re: Open Space Plan, 95-721
Town of Salem
Dear Ms. Brown,
Thank you for contacting the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program regard--
the Open Space and Recreation Plan for Salem. We would like to offer the following
information on the rare species and ecologically significant natural communities we havt
documented in the town.
A new printout from our database of all known occurrences of rare species in Salem is
enclosed and can be compared with the old one. We have also enclosed a copy of the
quadrangles covering the town showing the High Priority Sites of Rare Species and
Exemplary Natural Communities as well as the Estimated Habitats of Rare, State-listed
Wetlands Wildlife. These pages, and the page explaining these designations, come frorr.
Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas 1995 Edition. Your local conservation commissic
has the larger size Estimated Habitat maps for implementation of the state's Wetlands
Protection Act. We encourage the inclusion of these materials in your Town Master Pli
In response to your questions, we use the designation of "Historical" in a couple differer
forms. We may refer to a particular record of a rare species as "historical" if it is older
exact length of time depends on whether it is being defined for regulatory purposes uncle
Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act or for general descriptive purposes. However fc
rank of a species, "Historical" indicates that we have had no recent records of the specie
but there is still potential habitat for it and we do not discount the possibility that it Conti
to exist.

To answer your other cuesdon. Atlantic white cedar is not a state-Iisted plant species.
However, Atlantic White Cedar Swamps are considered an exemplary natural communir
We do not have anv record of these in Salem. A fact sheet on this community is enclos
along with other tact sheets we have available for species occurring currently or historic:
in the Town.
The Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program strongly urges that efforts be ma
preserve and protect the Priority Habitat areas shown on the maps. There are a number
ways a town can accomplish this goal. These include conservation restrictions or easem_
special zoning regulations and districts, or acquisition. Early planning and review of
development projects under the Wetlands Protection Act and other laws can also play a i
positive role in protecting rare species habitats and ecologically significant natural
communities. Town commissions and boards are encouraged to request the assistance o:
Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program in reviewing any project proposed in
areas shown on the enclosed maps.
Please note that this evaluation is based on the most recent information available in the
Natural Heritage database, which is constantly being expanded and updated through ongc
research and inventory. Should new rare species information become available, this
evaluation may be reconsidered. Please do not hesitate to call me or Hanni Dinkeloo,
Environmental Reviewer, if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Diane Lau r

Open Space and Recreation Resources Survey
Preliminary Summary - 24 October 1995
96 completed surveys returned. Survey distribution was unscientific. The surveys were
distributed to public offices, banks, and other locations in the city. Completed surveys were
picked up from these locations or returned by mail.
Survey demographics
■ Length of residence: 56 percent of respondents have lived in Salem twenty years or moi
and 28 percent have lived in Salem 10 or fewer years.
■ Age: 53 percent of respondents were between the ages of 30 and 49: 36 percent were 50
or older(21% 60 or older).
■ Homeownership: 71 percent own their homes. In contrast, only 46 percent of Salem
housing units in 1990 were owner-occupied.
■ Type of residence: 50 percent live in single family houses and 30 percent in two to four
family houses. Only 25 percent of Salem housing units are in single family homes.
■ Access to a backyard: 83 percent of respondents had access to a backvard.
■ Living situation: 50 percent live in families (including single parent families)
■ Income: 58 percent of respondents have incomes between $20.000 and 60.000 a year.
■ Employment: 47 percent are employed full time and 19 percent part time. for a total of f
percent; 24 percent are retired. In 1990 68 percent of Salem residents 16 and older were
in the labor force.
■ Place of employment: 52 percent of respondents who were employed work in Salem.
Landscape Character- What landscapes, views, buildings, locations or other outdoor
experiences most symbolize Salem's unique character to you?
Historic architecture(private homes and/or public historic sites), waterfront sites, and
parks were mentioned 200 times in the 96 surveys, far more than any other landmarks. These a
the places that say Salem to residents:
■ historic districts/sites/architecture ■ Winter Island
■ the Willows ■ waterfront/ocean location
■ the Common ■ Forest River Park
■ Pickering Wharf/Derby St. area
Implications:
■ Waterfront access and waterfront sites are extremely important to Salem's sense of place
Improved access to and maintenance of the waterfront is essential.
■ Excellent upkeep and improvement,where necessary, of City-owned landscape symbol
- the Willows, the Common, and Winter Island in particular- is essential to residents'
sense of the well-being of their community.
1
■ Deterioration of privately-owned symbolic places can also have a detrimental effect on
residents' view of their city.
Best and Worst - What do you like best/least about living in Salem'?
These questions elicited a wide variety of answers. but there were some evident
patterns and. of course. starkly contrasting views. For example. low crime was mentioned four
times as one of the best things about Salem, while crime was also mentioned four times as one o
the worst things about Salem. Six people especially liked Salem's quiet.while 4 were driven to
distraction by its noise.
Best- What do you like best about living in Salem?
The most common answers to this question reflected the respondents' answers to the
question on valued landscapes. There were 27 mentions of history and architecture; 22 of living
by the ocean. beach. or boating; 17 mentions of cultural activities. museums. or SSC. In additior
respondents mentioned they liked Salem's convenience. location. or walkabilitv 24 times.
-Convenience" means proximity to Boston for some and easy access to services. shopping, etc.,
within Salem to others. Walkability and convenience are linked to the small city feel and
community diversity that was also important to a number of respondents.
Implications:
■ Preserve historic character
■ Enhance water access
■ Preserve and enhance pedestrian and small city character
PVorst- What do you like least about living in Salem?
The clear winner in this category is traffic.with 31 mentions (and lack of highway access
adding another 7 mentions). (Parking was only mentioned 4 times.) The next category of
concern includes rundown or blighted areas and troubled industrial areas. mentioned a total of 23
times. The business weakness of downtown and related concerns was mentioned 14 times.
Otherwise the responses were spread among a variety of issues. from "apathetic people"and
"provincialism" to excessive focus on tourism and the lack of Salem news in the newspaper.
Implications:
■ People have a split personality when it comes to movement. They like a walkable,
historic city, but when they are in their cars they hate traffic congestion.
■ Dilapidated housing and troubled industrial areas are landscapes that make the
respondents uneasy.
■ People wish downtown were more lively and attractive (numerous comparisons with
Newburyport).

r
Recreation Needs
Respondents were asked to indicate the top five recreational facilities or programs needed. A
"conservation areas" category was included to see how its recreational value compared to other
options as well as an "other- category. Only 88 of the 96 respondents answered this question.
Some respondents simply checked five categories instead of ranking them one to five: others
indicated fewer than five choices. All check marks were counted as a "3" ranking.
:Number of respondents who picked a category as a recreation need.•
55 'beach improvement 20 public sailing program
48 conservation areas 14 athletic fields
37 access to islands 14 _ swimming programs
33 bike trails 10 golf course
32 neighborhood parks 9 fishing
30 hiking and skiing trails 7 public access for boating
30 recreation center building 7 public canoeing program
22 family picnic areas 6 tennis courts
20 ice skating facilities
20 Common improvement
Priority Rankings Within Top Recreation Need Categories (e.g.,how many respondents gave a
rank of"1" or"2" and so on within a category):
Note that Rank 3 is over represented because all check marks were counted as number 3
rankings.
Rank 1 Rank. 2 Rank 3 Rank 4 Rank 5
1. Beach improvement 16 9 13 5 11
2. Conservation areas 21 8 10 6 3

Neighborhood parks 4 9 8 7 4
5. Hiking/skiing trails 2 5 11 10 2

building
3
Implications:
As we saw earlier. Salem residents identify intensely with their seaside location.
However. thev are not satisfied with their access and recreational opportunities on the waterfro:
Over half the respondents chose beach improvement as a recreation priority. and of those, neari
half gave it a number one or two ranking. Respondents' interest in having access of some kind
the islands also speaks to this focus on the water.
Over half the respondents also chose conservation areas as a recreation priority, and of
those,-60 percent ranked this their number one or number two recreation need. It is significant
that when asked to rank recreation needs so many people in this group chose to give conservatit
areas such high priority. The interest in hiking/skiing trails, and to some degree in bike trails, i.
also evidence of a desire for nature-based and environmentally-friendly recreation.
Judging from other comments, the high number of respondents who chose "neighborhoc
parks" as a recreation priority were probably thinking as much of maintenance of existing park--
as they were of creating any new parks. The relatively high priority given to a recreation center
building indicates that there is a felt lack of indoor recreational facilities.
Conservation Needs
The survey respondents had a strong interest in conservation lands.
Amount of conservation land:
51 not enough
9 enough
5 too much
25 don't know
6 no answer
Importance of acquisition and preservation of conservation land:
53 very important
19 important
5 neutral
3 not very important
3 not at all important
7 don't know
4 no answer
4
Importance of'pollution prevention and control to protect natural areas:
68 very important
19 important
3 neutral
1 not very important
0 not at all important
2 don't know
3 no answer
Support for acquisition of more conservation land(some checked more than one).
36 with city funds
63 with state or federal funds
21 by donating money to buy land
8 other
13 don't support more acquisition
Use of own land resources to support open space preservation:
2 donation of land to City
5 sale of land to City at bargain price
12 sale of land to City at fair market value
18 put a conservation restriction on land
20 none of the above
35 no answer
Implications:
Almost 80 percent of the survey respondents think the acquisition and preservation of
conservation land is "important" or"very important," and 93 percent think that pollution
prevention and control to protect natural areas is "important" or"very important." However,
almost 30 percent admitted they did not know whether Salem has enough conservation land.
Many respondents would support acquisition of more conservation land with state or federal
funds, but a substantial minority would support acquisition with city funds, by donating money
to buy land, or other means. Only about 15 percent of the respondents explicitly rejected
acquisition of more conservation land. Although most Salemites do not own land appropriate R
conservation use, a surprising 25 percent of respondents said they would be willing to support
open space preservation by either donating land, selling it to the City at a bargain price,or, more
commonly, putting a conservation restriction on it.
Suggested actions and comments
Most of the suggested actions focus on preservation, maintenance, and improvement of
existing resources rather than acquisition. The respondents offered a wide variety of
suggestions, but several issues came up repeatedly:
5
■ improve the beaches
■ improve Winter Island
■ provide more activities for teenagers
■ communicate more effectively about recreation activities and resources
■ improve the Willows
■ acquire the Ferns junkyard
■ improve the North River with more parks
■ provide more amenities (paths, etc.) for bicyclists
In addition to the repeated suggestions to acquire property on the North River, one
respondent noted the lack of a playground in the area between Lafayette and Canal Streets, one
proposed the acquisition of land between Pickman Park and the conservation area. and another
proposed acquisition of"land in back of Jeffers," which is probably the wetland area.
