  • Mount Abraham Public Lands Fire Warden’S Trail - 8 Miles Round Trip, Strenuous
    Mount Abraham Public Lands Fire Warden’s Trail - 8 miles round trip, strenuous t 4,049’ elevation, Mount Abraham (or locally, Mt. Abram) is one of only 13 Maine peaks over A 4,000’ elevation. Evidence of radical processes are on display here, including fire, windthrow, and crumbling bedrock. The Maine Natural Areas Program is tasked with ecological monitoring of Mt. Abraham — an Ecological Reserve owned by the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands— and the role these natural disturbances play in maintaining these ecosystems. In this guided Heritage Hike, we will discuss how natural disturbance processes may be affecting the habitats that occur here. ————————————————————— Cold streams and big logs - -70.26373, 44.968411 Wood jams provide essential stream habitat for cold water fish. A short distance from the parking area, the trail crosses Norton Stream. Here we get our first lesson in the ecological importance of coarse woody material. Once thought to be a waste of wood fiber, large dead logs are now recognized for providing important habitat values. During the river driving era that lasted into the 1970s, many streams were cleared of woody debris and large boul- ders to facilitate passage of logs on their way downstream to mills. This ef- fect homogenized streams, reducing suitable habitat for cold water species, such as brook trout. Large logs now wedged into the stream bank at this trail crossing improve the structural diversity of the stream. This coarse woody material traps nutrients that help form the base of the food web, and modifies streamflow patterns, allowing scour pools to form that may become trout spawning habitat.

Patrick, Governor Richard K. Sullivan, Jr., Secretary John P. Murray, Commissioner Resource Management Plans provide guidance for managing properties under the stewardship of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the Department to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in the DCR’s stewardship efforts. As I travel the Commonwealth, I am reminded of the variety of high-quality experiences offered by DCR parks. Those within the Mount Holyoke Range Planning Unit are among the best that this state has to offer. They provide a variety of recreational opportunities, from challenging hikes along mountain ridgelines, to family picnics on a promontory overlooking the Connecticut River Valley, to taking in a summer concert in downtown Holyoke. Although they may all be visited in a single day, the true character of these parks is best revealed through repeat visits. In addition to providing outstanding recreational opportunities, these parks protect important natural and cultural resources.
