  • Franklin County by Foot and Paddle Doug Dunlap
    Franklin County by Foot and Paddle Doug Dunlap Progress Report September 15, 2020 For walks and hikes; and travel by kayak and canoe, August 31-September 15, 2020 Discoveries: The United Way and the 2-1-1 phone number, Six Months into the Pandemic Over the past two weeks I have learned much about 2-1-1, a major, indispensable service to people of Franklin County, and throughout Maine, led by the United Way. The United Way of the Tri-Valley continues to serve as a vital safety net for Franklin County residents. The 2-1-1 project is an indispensable service. This is a 24/7 service, staffed by call specialists who take calls from people seeking help of many kinds: food, clothing, shelter, heat; access to mental health services, help with caring for a sick or incapacitated family member, financial burdens of many kinds. United Ways throughout Maine fund this service, in cooperation with the State of Maine. There is always someone to take the call, always available to help guide the calling person to someone who may speak to the very specific need expressed. 2-1-1 was available prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and widely used by thousands of callers each year. I am informed by United Way leadership that in 2020, Maine 2-1- 1 has received 36,000 pandemic related calls since the month of March. That amounts to 6000 calls per month for six months, an average of 200 calls per day. That is an astonishing figure. It costs money to provide the service.

  • High Peaks Region Recreation Plan
    High Peaks Region Recreation Plan An overview and analysis of the recreation, possibilities, and issues facing the High Peaks Region of Maine Chris Colin, Jacob Deslauriers, Dr. Chris Beach Fall 2008 Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust – High Peaks Initiative: The Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust (MATLT) was formed in June 2002 by a group of Mainers dedicated to the preservation of the natural qualities of the lands surrounding the Appalachian Trail in Maine. Following its campaign to acquire Mount Abraham and a portion of Saddleback Mountain, MATLT is embarking on a new initiative to research and document the ecological qualities of the entire Western Maine High Peaks Region. The MATLT website describes the region as follows: “The Western Maine High Peaks Region is the 203,400 acres roughly bounded by the communities of Rangeley, Phillips, Kingfield and Stratton. In this region, there are about 21,000 acres above 2700 feet. It is one of only three areas in Maine where the mountains rise above 4000 feet. The other two are the Mahoosuc Range and Baxter Park. Eight (8) of the fourteen (14) highest mountains in Maine are in this region (Sugarloaf, Crocker, South Crocker, Saddleback, Abraham, The Horn, Spaulding and Redington Peak.) These are all above 4000 feet. If one adds the Bigelow Range, across Route 27/16 from Sugarloaf, the region hosts ten (10) of the highest mountains (Avery Peak and West Peak added)). This area is comparable in size to Baxter Park but has 40% more area above 2700 feet.” Table of Contents I.
