  • 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.

It includes all of Maine’s high peaks and contains a rich diversity of ecosystems, from alpine tundra and boreal forests to ribbed fens and floodplain hardwood forests. It is home to more than 139 rare plants and animals, including 21 globally rare species and many others that are found only in the northern Appalachians. It includes more than half of the United States’ largest globally important bird area, which provides crucial habitat for 34 northern woodland songbird species. It provides core habitat for marten, lynx, loon, moose and a host of other iconic Maine animals. Its cold headwater streams and lakes comprise the last stronghold for wild brook trout in the eastern United States.

Please describe your current employment. I am a consulting ecologist. I conduct natural resource inventories and prepare management plans and regional conservation plans for conservation groups, government agencies, and private landowners. I am also on the faculty of Watershed School, an independent high school in Camden, Maine, where I teach a course on Global Climate Change. Q. Please describe your education and professional background and experience. I have a B.S. in biology and geology from Colby College and an M.S. in plant ecology from the University of Maine. My masters thesis, The Biophysical Regions of Maine, and my professional career have focused on conservation at the landscape scale. I helped develop Maine’s Ecological Reserves system, worked at The Nature Conservancy as a conservation planner, and more recently have worked with land trusts to identify conservation focus areas and wildlife corridors that are most likely to be resilient to the impacts of climate change and to prepare management plans that take these and other considerations into account.
