The Forestry and Recreation Commission submits herewith its re port for the years 1943 and 1944. Three things have happened since 1932 that have profoundly in fluenced and altered the course of the work of this department: the aftermath of the depression gave us the State and Federal Work Pro grams, the hurricane devastated a large part of o’ur forests and the war depleted our timber resources and our working personnel. With lumber production and all business at their low ebb in 1932, State and Federal measures for relief of unemployment furnished work programs which could not have been considered in ordinary times, particularly in developing facilities for recreational use in our public reservations.

  • 2016 Annual Report to the Public Water Access Advisory Board Programs and Activities of the NH Department of Environmental Services
    2016 Annual Report to the Public Water Access Advisory Board Programs and Activities of the NH Department of Environmental Services During 2016, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) engaged in numerous programs and activities associated with recreational opportunities and public access to the state's waters; these items are described below. NHDES continues to be active in its efforts to expand and improve public access opportunities across New Hampshire. DES Bureaus and Programs that Support Public Access Dam Bureau The NHDES Dam Bureau owns and operates 111 dams, and also operates and maintains 100 dams belonging to the NH Fish and Game Department (NHF&G). NHDES provides boating recreational opportunities by regulating the water level of these dam-controlled waterbodies. Many of these dam sites have public access facilities, which require constant maintenance, repairs and enhancements. As part of the operation plans for each of the dams, the opportunity to improve public access is fully evaluated. Maintain and Monitor Existing Lease Agreements The Bureau owns lake and riverfront parcels on waterbodies across the state, and it leases many of these properties and facilities to several communities and other agencies across the state. NHDES works cooperatively with towns and agencies to provide public access opportunities at these locations: Bow Lake, Strafford; Lovell Lake, Wakefield; Goshen Lake, Goshen; Oliverian Brook Flood Control Impoundment, Benton; Deering Reservoir, Deering; Milton Three Ponds, Milton; and the Waumbek and Rowe sites on the Salmon Falls River, Milton. Site Enhancement Projects for Dams and Other Properties Due to budget reductions, NHDES did not receive funding for the Site Enhancement program.

  • Forestry and Recreation Cornmission
    State of New Hampshire BIENNIAL REPORT of the Forestry and Recreation Cornmission 1947 - 1948 I I I Paper or canoe birch — the State Tree of New Hampshire. eftozi To His Excellency, the Governor, and the Honorable Council: The Forestry and Recreation Commission submits herewith its report for the two fiscal years ending June 30, 1948. This contains a record of the activities of the two divisions, and brief accounts of re lated agencies prepared by the State Forester and Director of Recre ation and their staffs. As use of the state forests, reservations and recreational areas increased during the post-war period of prosperity and desire for more and more people to travel, these years have called for an expansion of facilities and developments aimed at meeting the demand. Services to private forest owners have also risen greatly, and the disastrous fire season of 1947 has placed severe strains on the forest fire protec tive organization. In spite of the problems, and difficulties en countered, the period has been characterized by an endeavor to satisfy public needs for our varied services. W. ROBINSON BROWN, HARRY K. ROGERS, OWEN JOHNSON, RANDALL E. SPALDING, CHARLEs’ E. GREENMAN, Forestry and Recreation Commission. JOHN H. FOSTER, State Forester RUSSELL B. TOBEY, Director of Recreation i IN MEMORIAM ELPHEGE J. COUTURE 1903-1949 The Forestry and Recreation Commission regrets to record the passing on January 28, 1949 of Mr. E. J. Couture, who has rendered outstanding service to the state for 30 years as administrative assistant in charge of forest fire prevention and control. Not only did he carry on the exacting forest fire details of the office, but by attendance at meetings of the County Forest Fire Wardens Associa tions and otherwise, he maintained a personal contact with town fire wardens, and other members of the fire organization throughout the state.
