  • Provide More Recreation Page: 1
    Provide More Recreation Page: 1 INTRODUCTION This project documents both the existing value and potential of New England’s working forest lands: Value – not only in terms of business opportunities, jobs and income – but also nonfinancial values, such as enhanced wildlife populations, recreation opportunities and a healthful environment. This project of the New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) is aimed at enhancing the contribution the region’s forests can make to sustainability, and is intended to complement other efforts aimed at not only conserving New England’s forests, but also enhancing New England’s agriculture and fisheries. New England’s forests have sustained the six-state region since colonial settlement. They have provided the wood for buildings, fuel to heat them, the fiber for papermaking, the lumber for ships, furniture, boxes and barrels and so much more. As Arizona is defined by its desert landscapes and Iowa by its farms, New England is defined by its forests. These forests provide a wide range of products beyond timber, including maple syrup; balsam fir tips for holiday decorations; paper birch bark for crafts; edibles such as berries, mushrooms and fiddleheads; and curatives made from medicinal plants. They are the home to diverse and abundant wildlife. They are the backdrop for hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing and camping. They also provide other important benefits that we take for granted, including clean air, potable water and carbon storage. In addition to tangible benefits that can be measured in board feet or cords, or miles of hiking trails, forests have been shown to be important to both physical and mental health.

  • By Janis Barth
    Mengucci: Lookout BY JANIS BARTH he sky lowered and held only the promise of more snow. A cold sun, pale and milky as birch, T hung low on the horizon. Only a subdued light filtered through the dense crowns of spruce and hemlock-ancient pines, spear-shaped and still. Here, in the soft pine trailings of the forest floor, there are no surveyor's stakes, no carefully tended lot lines. There are, as there have always been, the mountains. Granite-ribbed, the Adirondacks were old when the continent was young. The old logging trail underfoot twists and falls and leads steeply into the past. Time was, the great north woods stretched unbroken, rich in timber. The cross-cut saw of the timberjack broke the winter's silence and the great workhorse rivers, the Raquette and the Grasse, carried highways of logs to the rich markets in Albany and New York City. Along the dark ridges of the high peaks, the wolf, the moose, the cougar, and the lynx lived and died and, as civilization pushed deeper into the vast forests, became a dry footnote in the bureaucratic tally of such things: Extinct to the region. The road is pockmarked and rough and memory lies as thick as dust. In 1885, long before it became fashionable to set aside public parks and preserve the natural landscape for future generations, the State of New York determined that this untamed place should remain forever wild. The creation of the Adirondack Forest Pre­ serve and, in 1892, the Adirondack Park, guaranteed a natural legacy.
