  • 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.

  • State Park Director's Report, January 19, 2018
    Director’s Report STATE PARKS SYSTEM ADVISORY COUNCIL Division of Parks and Recreation January 19, 2018 Cannon Mountain • Opening weekend was a great success with approximately 3,725 visitors enjoying the most trails that Cannon’s opened with in its history. In fact, Cannon had top to bottom skiing for opening day and already had 24 trails opens by December 1st. However due to the exceedingly of the cold weather and then rain over the holiday weekend, YTD visits of 53,298 are down 18% from the same period last year but off only 4% from our 7 year YTD average. This is consistent with other ski areas in the state. • The $5.1 million project with energy service firm Ameresco to reduce energy consumption at the ski area has met if not exceeded expectations. The energy savings has exceeded the payments while significantly increasing snowmaking capabilities and providing critical upgrades to important infrastructure. Bureau of Park Operations • The Parks team in the northern and central region had their hands full responding to the damage caused by a severe wind and rain storm event that arrived in New Hampshire at the end of October. Moose Brook and Crawford Notch State Park campgrounds were especially hard hit. Livermore Falls was “as wild as I’ve ever seen it” according to Art Charbonneau, Central Region supervisor. White Lake State Park lost lots of trees as well, with some landing on the roof of the beach house building. • On the seacoast there was also a lot of storm clean-up, especially at Odiorne Point and Hampton Beach.
