Fred Johnson Wildlife Management Area (WMA) encompasses 1,172 acres of forested land in the town of Hinesburg. Elevations range from 500 to 1,500 feet. There are two parcels, one on the north side of Hinesburg Hollow Road, and one on the south side of the same road. The road follows Hollow Brook and a small part of the stream bank is included in the WMA. The area north of Hinesburg Hollow Road is on the west side of Lincoln Hill. The area south of the road is also on a hillside that rises out of the Hollow Brook Valley. There is access into the northern parcel of the WMA via a parking area and log road on Lincoln Hill Road. To access the southern parcel one can park at the pullout with the WMA sign on the south side of Hinesburg Hollow Road. The WMA is owned by the State of Vermont and managed by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. Timber rights are privately held. Except for the small stretch of rocky streambank, the Fred Johnson WMA consists of forested upland. There are three types of stands. An eastern hemlock–yellow birch stand provides the best cover for wintering deer, offering a closed canopy to minimize snow pack. There are some young eastern white pine stands, a few of which were planted, with inclusions of planted red pine and a scattering of more mature white pine. There are also white pines growing in abandoned pasture, with various young hardwoods mixed in. The hardwoods would eventually become dominant and crowd out the pines without sylvicultural intervention.
