  • Features to Explore in CT
    Features to explore in CT: Week 2 of the Great Outdoor Pursuit 2021 starts June 12, 2021 Feature 2 is a Forest-explore an area where there are many trees. Forests are known as the lungs of the planet. This is because they supply a huge amount of Earth’s oxygen, which animals need to breathe. The trees of a forest give off oxygen as part of a process called photosynthesis. Forest trees also help to protect soil from erosion. They block the forces of wind and water that wear away the land. In addition, forests offer a peaceful place for hiking, camping, bird-watching, and exploring nature (forest activities for children). (Definition from Britannica Kids). CT State Forest Facts: 1) There are 32 State Forests, comprising nearly 170,000 acres of state land; 2) While the oldest State Forest is over 100 years old, the youngest (Centennial Forest) is less than 10 years old; 3) State Forests include a variety of vegetation types; 4) All State Forests are managed for a wide range of goals. As a result, on Connecticut's State Forests, you can see everything from maintained wildlife meadows to mature hardwood forest. One benefit of getting out into the State Forests is to see the results of these various management activities; and 5) Connecticut's State Forests are located throughout the state, with Forests in each of the eight counties. This makes these Forests accessible to just about everyone in the state. CT DEEP State Forest Suggested Location(s): • Cockaponset State Forest in Chester and Haddam, various Maps (read about the history of this forest) • Nehantic State Forest in Lyme, East Lyme, Forest Map Lyme, Forest Map East Lyme (read about the history of this forest).

  • Large Woody Debris Fact Sheet
    Inland Fisheries Division Habitat Conservation and Enhancement Program Large Woody Debris Fact Sheet I. Introduction Trees that grow along a streamside can often fall into a watercourse due to floods, erosion, windthrow, disease, beaver activity or natural mortality. These materials, often referred to as Large Woody Debris (LWD) can include whole trees with a rootwad and limbs attached or portions of trees with or without rootwads or limbs. LWD is typically defined by biologists as logs with a minimum diameter of 4 inches and a minimum length of 6 feet that protrude or lay within a stream channel. Environmental and recreational groups have often removed LWD as part of river cleanup or river improvement projects. Although these groups have good intentions, LWD removal can be “very detrimental” to stream health and well being. In fact, during the last decade, the Inland Fisheries Division has been actively adding LWD to river systems as a component of individual stream restoration projects, particularly in streams that are LWD deficient. This fact sheet describes the vital importance of LWD to river ecosystems and provides guidance for its beneficial management. Example of various types of large woody debris in the Moosup River, Plainfield. DEP • Inland Fisheries Division • Habitat Conservation and Enhancement Program 1 II. Ecological Benefits of Large Woody Debris Research studies have shown that LWD is a vital and naturally occurring component of healthy stream ecosystems. Ecological benefits of LWD are described below. ¾ Fish Habitat LWD that falls completely across a stream causes water to be slightly impounded resulting in the formation of an upstream pool and a downstream plunge pool as water flows under and over the wood.
