    The original table with metric values and the original color figures have been appended to the end of this document. Correction: An error was introduced into the text at some point during production. The bottom of p. 69 states “May 1903 was extremely dry; with less than two inches of precipitation, it is the driest May and third driest month ever recorded (1893-1997) at Bethlehem, New Hampshire.” The correct precipitation for May 1903 is 0.75 cm (0.3 inches). W g E o Fire W b in the e c White Mountains m g p A Historical Perspective a Christine L. Goodale he White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) owes its existence, Tin part, to its fiery history. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, debris from unprecedented logging fueled fires across the region. This disrup- tion inflamed public ire, and concern over the potential loss of these beloved forests—and, influentially, concern by downstream manufac- turers that deforestation would dry up their river power—eventually brought about the Weeks Act in 1911. The Weeks Act authorized the federal purchase of forestland and established the WMNF. The public outrage at logging-era fires contrasts with public appreciation of the scenic side effects of some fires long past: enhanced views of and from such peaks as Chocorua, Crawford, Moat, Welch, Hale, the Sugarloaves, and the Baldfaces. On these and other mountains, forest fires cleared the low summits of view- blocking trees, and subsequent erosion washed away much of the soil that might have supported regrowth. Elsewhere, picturesque stands of paper birch owe their origin to fires from a century ago.

  • Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest

    Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest

    How Campers Can Help Protect the National Forest First of all, obtain your camp-fire permit from the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H., or from any Forest officer; then observe the following rules: Build your camp fire near water, never against a log or tree. Be sure it is out before you leave it. When you throw away lighted matches, cigars, cigarettes, or pipe heels, STEP ON THRU. Dead and down trees, alder, pin cherry, striped and moose maple, may be used for fuel. LEAVE YOUR CAMP GROUNDS NEAT. THINK OF THE NEXT FELLOW. Bury your tin cans and burn garbage and papers—don't throw them in the streams. If you discover a fire and can not put it out, notify the nearest Forest officer or telephone the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H. District rangers are located at Gorham, Woodstock, Bart- lett, and Pierce Bridge, N. H. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1920 United States Department of Agriculture Contribution from the Forest Service Department Circular 100 William B. Greeley, Forester Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest HE cloud-piercing peaks, the lakes and streams and waterfalls, the wind­ swept ridges, and the deep woods trails make the White Mountain National Forest a land of heart's desire to the lover of the outdoors.

Even the motorist will find convenient camping places and vantage points with a lookout over wild forest and mountain scenery.

Yet, increas- ing numbers of people in Carroll County do not have equitable access to medical services, employment, educa- tional institutions, and necessity shop- ping. Realizing these needs, in 2006 Tri- County CAP’s North Country Transit Division applied for a grant through the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) to do a feasibility study to quantify transportation needs in Carroll County. TCCAP’s North Country Transit received the award and research found that as of 2005, 867 fam- ilies within the County did not own a vehicle, 3,706 people belonged to the below-poverty population, 1,279 people belonged to the mobility limited popu- lation, and 11,013 people were age 60 and older.
