Oh, Carpinus? Hornbeam? That would make sense, I've seen some different planted varieties of that and the bud/twigs do look a bit similar to Beech, although not as elongated and as pointed. I had a feeling it was something other than just a Beech with some rather wild branch structure but wasnt sure. Thanks for the clarification!
I was actually just out your way today at the New England Grows! expo at the BCEC. Took a quick snapshot off Google Earth. This is the mini "Pine Barrens" around here I suppose I might call it. The area to the left of "Lake Pleasant Road" is nearly all Pitch Pine, and off to the right its all Pitch Pine tapering off to a mix of White and Pitch Pines to the extreme right of the image. Its not a huge area, but the semi- monoculture of it is kind of interesting. The distance between "Bartlett Rd" and "Millers Falls Rd" at the extreme tops and bottom of the image is just about 1 mile to give you an idea.
