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.

  • Hiking/Nature Trails
    HIKING/NATURE TRAILS LEVEL TRAIL NAME ANGEL FALLS: 90 foot plunge; one of Maine's tallest waterfalls! From Oquossoc, take Rt. 17 south for about 18.5 miles. Turn right onto an unnamed gravel road (adjacent to a large open field). Immediately cross a bridge over the Swift River, then turn right onto Bemis Road and drive north for about 3.5 miles. Look for a road on the left going downhill and follow it into an old gravel pit (large boulder with graffiti), and park. Look for red blazes, and follow a logging path across Berdeen Stream, and continue following the trail (red blazed) to Mountain Brook. The trail follows the brook up stream and crosses (rock hops) the brook three times before you come to the falls. APPALACHIAN TRAIL: Trail runs from Andover through our area beyond Saddleback Mountain. To reach Trail on Rt. 17, travel 11.1 miles south from Oquossoc. Trail from Rt. 17 to Rt. 4 is approximately 13 miles. It is moderate hiking, no real steep sections. Four miles from Rt. 17 is Sabbath Day Pond and shelter. To reach trail-crossing Rt. 4, travel south approximately 9 miles from the center of Rangeley. From Rt. 4 to top of Saddleback Mountain it is 5 miles. The last mile is above tree line. Please stay on marked trail, as this is a fragile alpine area. Also on this trail, you will find Piazza Rock, shelter and tent sites 1.3 miles from Rt. 4. There is a side trail off of Saddleback Mountain, which then follows ski trails to base lodge approx.

  • Mooselookmeguntic Lake Fishery Management 2014
    Fishery Progress Report Series No. 14-05 MOOSELOOKMEGUNTIC LAKE FISHERY MANAGEMENT By: David Howatt and Jason Seiders December 2014 Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife Fisheries and Hatcheries Division MOOSELOOKMEGUNTIC LAKE FISHERY MANAGEMENT JOB NO. F-014 INTERIM SUMMARY REPORT NO. 8 (2011-2014) SUMMARY Mooselookmeguntic Lake is the largest of the Rangeley Chain of Lakes and supports sport fisheries for wild landlocked salmon and brook trout. These fisheries have been monitored by periodic creel surveys and season-long aerial angler counts since 1981. Growth rates for salmon declined considerably beginning in the late 1990’s; brook trout growth also declined during that period but not as dramatically. The decline in fish quality for both species was attributed to a decline in harvest rates resulting from reduced fishing pressure and increased release rates of legal fish by anglers. Salmon regulations were liberalized slightly in 2000 to encourage harvest of smaller fish and improve fish quality. Salmon quality continued to deteriorate, so harvest regulations were further liberalized in 2006 (three salmon daily bag limit; minimum length limit 12 inches; only one may exceed 16 inches). Additional salmon harvest was also encouraged through an educational program involving signage, oral presentations, and written articles. Salmon growth has been steadily poor over recent years, but is now showing some signs of improvement. High salmon densities in a large waterbody, such as Mooselookmeguntic Lake, have required a long-term effort to improve growth. The more liberal salmon rules, combined with the education effort, have not resulted in the dramatically increased salmon harvest that must be sustained for a number of years to realize any improvements in growth rates and size quality.

In the late 1700s, a body of citizens, mostly from North Andover Massachusetts explored the region for a suitable site to establish a new town. 2 They found the fertile land along the Ellis River valley attractive for growing crops. Andover’s first sawmill was built more than 200 years ago to provide the boards and timbers necessary to build homes and other buildings. Since the construction of the first sawmill, forest and forest related products have been an important element of the Town’s economy. Andover was incorporated in 1804 and held its first town meeting in September of the year. The first Town Meeting raised $200 for the construction and repair of roads, $60 for schools and $30 to defray town expenses.

  • Maine Lakes Report 2012
    Maine Lakes Report 2012 Dear Friends of Maine Lakes, This report on the health of Maine lakes reflects the effort of more than 1,000 volunteer citizen scientists who monitored several hundred lake basins throughout the State in 2012. Many of them have been doing so continuously for decades, and a few have been involved for most of the 42 years since the Maine Legislature officially authorized volunteer lake monitoring. Their work is a strong testimony to the level of public commitment in Maine to our clear, clean lakes, and it is probably not coincidental that our lakes have remained as healthy as they have under the watch of these individuals. The Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program (VLMP) is believed to be the longest-standing statewide citizen lake monitoring program in America, having been formed at about the time of the passage of the historic Federal Clean Water Act. The Mission of the Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program is to help protect Maine lakes through widespread citizen participation in the gathering and dissemination of credible scientific information pertaining to lake health. The VLMP trains, certifies and provides technical support to hundreds of volunteers who monitor a wide range of indicators of water quality, assess watershed health and function, and screen lakes for invasive aquatic plants and animals. In addition to being the primary source of lake data in the State of Maine, VLMP volunteers benefit their local lakes by playing key stewardship and leadership roles in their communities. Our primary partners are the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the US Environmental Protection Agency, which provide a wide range of financial, technical and management support to the program.
