  • Provide More Recreation Page: 1
    Provide More Recreation Page: 1 INTRODUCTION This project documents both the existing value and potential of New England’s working forest lands: Value – not only in terms of business opportunities, jobs and income – but also nonfinancial values, such as enhanced wildlife populations, recreation opportunities and a healthful environment. This project of the New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) is aimed at enhancing the contribution the region’s forests can make to sustainability, and is intended to complement other efforts aimed at not only conserving New England’s forests, but also enhancing New England’s agriculture and fisheries. New England’s forests have sustained the six-state region since colonial settlement. They have provided the wood for buildings, fuel to heat them, the fiber for papermaking, the lumber for ships, furniture, boxes and barrels and so much more. As Arizona is defined by its desert landscapes and Iowa by its farms, New England is defined by its forests. These forests provide a wide range of products beyond timber, including maple syrup; balsam fir tips for holiday decorations; paper birch bark for crafts; edibles such as berries, mushrooms and fiddleheads; and curatives made from medicinal plants. They are the home to diverse and abundant wildlife. They are the backdrop for hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing and camping. They also provide other important benefits that we take for granted, including clean air, potable water and carbon storage. In addition to tangible benefits that can be measured in board feet or cords, or miles of hiking trails, forests have been shown to be important to both physical and mental health.

  • Deglaciation of the Upper Androscoggin River Valley and Northeastern White Mountains, Maine and New Hampshire
    Maine Geological Survey Studies in Maine Geology: Volume 6 1989 Deglaciation of the Upper Androscoggin River Valley and Northeastern White Mountains, Maine and New Hampshire Woodrow B. Thompson Maine Geological Survey State House Station 22 Augusta, Maine 04333 Brian K. Fowler Dunn Geoscience Corporation P.O. Box 7078, Village West Laconia, New Hampshire 03246 ABSTRACT The mode of deglaciation of the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire and adjacent Maine has been a controversial topic since the late 1800's. Recent workers have generally favored regional stagnation and down wastage as the principal means by which the late Wisconsinan ice sheet disappeared from this area. However, the results of the present investigation show that active ice persisted in the upper Androscoggin River valley during late-glacial time. An ice stream flowed eastward along the narrow part of the Androscoggin Valley between the Carter and Mahoosuc Ranges, and deposited a cluster of end-moraine ridges in the vicinity of the Maine-New Hampshire border. We have named these deposits the" Androscoggin Moraine." This moraine system includes several ridges originally described by G. H. Stone in 1880, as well as other moraine segments discovered during our field work. The ridges are bouldery, sharp-crested, and up to 30 m high. They are composed of glacial diamictons, including flowtills, with interbedded silt, sand, and gravel. Stone counts show that most of the rock debris comprising the Androscoggin Moraine was derived locally, although differences in provenance may exist between moraine segments on opposite sides of the valley. Meltwater channels and deposits of ice-contact stratified drift indicate that the margin of the last ice sheet receded northwestward.
