It is a relatively sparsely populated region compared to adjacent regions, and is characterized by hills and mountains, a mostly Ecoregions of New England forested land cover, nutrient-poor frigid and cryic soils (mostly Spodosols), and numerous high-gradient streams and glacial lakes. Forest vegetation is somewhat transitional between the boreal regions to the north in Canada and the broadleaf deciduous forests to the south. Typical forest types include northern hardwoods (maple-beech-birch), northern hardwoods/spruce, and northeastern spruce-fir forests. Recreation, tourism, and forestry are primary land uses. Farm-to-forest conversion began in the 19th century and continues today. In spite of this trend, Ecoregions denote areas of general similarity in ecosystems and in the type, quality, and 5 level III ecoregions and 40 level IV ecoregions in the New England states and many Commission for Environmental Cooperation Working Group, 1997, Ecological regions of North America – toward a common perspective: Montreal, Commission for Environmental Cooperation, 71 p. alluvial valleys, glacial lake basins, and areas of limestone-derived soils are still farmed for dairy products, forage crops, apples, and potatoes.

  • FFLA 2015 New Hampshire Chapter Report
    FFLA 2015 New Hampshire Chapter Report The New Hampshire Chapter regained one former member in June. At the end of the year there were six FFLA Plus members and twelve Regular members for a total of 18 paid members and two complimentary memberships (White Mountain National Forest and NH Forest Protection Bureau.) There were no chapter activities during the year. The State continued staffing its towers only during Class 3 (high) and higher fire danger weather. The State hired contractors who did extensive rehabilitation work at Green Mountain where a new cab was installed on the tower and at Mt. Prospect where renovations will finish up in 2016. New tower cabs are planned for Warner Hill and Pitcher Mountain. In September Historicorps experts visited Smarts Mountain tower in Lyme, NH on the Appalachian Trail. Plans are underway to replace the tower cab roof and make repairs to the watchman’s cabin during 2016. Fire activity was high during April and May as reported in the Lookout Network. 98 Fires burned 595 acres during the year with most occurring in the spring. The largest fire was 275 acres which was more acres than burned during the past two years combined! Both the State of New Hampshire and the White Mountain National Forest sent several crews and many single resources out of state to help suppress fires in the western states. A few folks were lucky enough to be on two fire crews. The White Mountain National Forest took delivery of a second Type 6 Wildland Fire engine during the summer. This engine replaces one purchased in 2003 which had become outdated.

  • Stratigraphic and Structural Traverse of Mount Moriah, New Hampshire
    B2-1 STRATIGRAPHIC AND STRUCTURAL TRAVERSE OF MOUNT MORIAH, NEW HAMPSHIRE. by Timothy T. Allen, Geology Department, Keene State College, Keene, NH 03435-2001 ([email protected]) INTRODUCTION East of Pinkham Notch and south of the Androscoggin River valley lies a large roadless area of the White Mountain National Forest containing the Carter–Moriah mountain range and the Wild River valley (Fig 1). Original mapping in this and adjacent areas was done by M. P. Billings and others in the 1940’s and 1950’s (1941, 1946, 1975, 1979), and Billings’ work lays the foundation upon which all subsequent work in this area is based. Since the time of Billings’ maps, however, further developments have been made in understanding the litho-stratigraphy of Siluro-Devonian metasedimentary rocks throughout New Hampshire and western Maine (Osberg et al., 1985; Moench & Pankiwskyj, 1988; Lyons et al., 1991). Attempts to apply the new lithostratigraphy to this region met with limited success, particularly in the migmatites that make up the Carter–Moriah and Wild River area (CM–WR; Hatch et al., 1983; Hatch & Moench, 1984; Hatch & Wall, 1986). The CM–WR area is shown on current maps as “undifferentiated sedimentary rocks in areas of extreme migmatization” (Osberg et al., 1985; Lyons et al., 1991). The rocks are indeed migmatized, although in general the line bounding these “undifferentiated” rocks does not necessarily represent a “migmatite front” but rather the limits of easily mappable terrain (Hatch & Wall, 1986, page 146). Locally, however, sharp “migmatite fronts” can be clearly defined, separating un-migmatized schists from intensely migmatized gneisses of the same parent lithology.
