  • Chapter 5 Resource Preservation
    CHAPTER 5 RESOURCE PRESERVATION INTRODUCTION The citizens of Roanoke County have a strong desire to preserve the quality of the county’s natural, scenic and historic resources. The county’s natural features - including mountains, forests, productive soil, streams, fresh air and wildlife - serve to distinguish the greater Roanoke Valley as a uniquely attractive urban center. Roanoke County citizens recognize that the beauty of the existing natural environment attracts not only businesses and residents to our community but also tourists and sports enthusiasts. County citizens believe that it is essential to maintain the high quality of Roanoke County’s environment while accommodating the pressures for future growth and development. OPEN SPACE During the past twenty-five years, Roanoke County has experienced steady growth. From a population of 53,800 in 1970 that reflects the results of several annexations, the population grew 54 percent to 83,100 in 1995. Future population projections indicate that by the year 2010 the County population will be approximately 87,400. This growth in population and the accompanying shift in demographics - such as an aging population - are changing the traditional rural landscape of the County. New residents require more housing, schools, shopping centers, office buildings, roads, water and sewer facilities and parks and recreational services. The rural landscape is gradually becoming urbanized as a result of this growth. What was once an orchard is now a residential subdivision or a shopping center. What was once a hardwood forest is now an office building or condominium. Between 1982 and 1992 the number of farms in Roanoke County decreased 11 percent from 306 to 272.

  • Junior Newsletter, July 14, 2021
    JUNIOR TIMES July 14, 2021 Greetings from Junior Winona! We have had another terrific week that can only be summarized by the fact that, regardless of the weather, Junior campers always know how to have the best time and our counselors know how to create engaging activities. While we had a bit of rain, we also saw a fair amount of sunshine that allowed us to be outside and celebrate our new squads, welcome CITs and send many trips out and about. On Wednesday morning, Uncle Lime, Aunt Wren and Uncle Ben took the BAT Barge across Moose Pond to hike part of Pleasant Mountain and find the Needles Eye. Campers Mattias Calderon Chubb, Eliot Harris, Brody Watkins, Connor Kirkham, Blake Alexander-Pletzke, Lucas Lapin, Will Lothian, Victor Rannik and Mark Weaver took part on this local hike exploring some stunning geological features of the mountain. Thursday morning, a canoe trip left the beach for a day trip up to Newt’s Isle (an island located in the northern basin of Moose Pond). Campers, Mark Weaver, Leo Milberg, Finn Stevenson, James Golden, David Gengler, Jackson Tankersly, Francis Rangel and Lochlann O’Connell, were led by counselors Uncle Josef, Uncle Lee and CIT Lucas. The counselors and campers had great weather and were able to enjoy the afternoon on the calm waters of Moose Pond. Friday evening was Movie Night in Junior! The campers enjoyed eating popcorn and watching Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. The cloudy weather made for a perfect movie night here at camp. Campfire is always a wonderful community event on Saturday evenings.

  • Old Speck Mountain Appalachian Trail and Eyebrow Loop – 6.2 Miles Round Trip, Advanced
    Old Speck Mountain Appalachian Trail and Eyebrow Loop – 6.2 miles round trip, Advanced ld Speck Mountain, the northeastern terminus of the Mahoosuc Range, has long been a popular O hike along the Appalachian Trail. Here, evidence from the last glaciation is everywhere, and in- cludes scoured bedrock, Speck Pond tarn, erratic boulders and even the massive carved valley of Grafton Notch. While its glacial history is part of what gives the rugged landscape of Western Maine its charac- ter, exposed bedrock and shallow soils, harsh high elevation climate conditions, and catastrophic disturb- ance events have also shaped the variety of vegetation and habitats found here. The forests that have de- veloped are adapted to these unique soil and climate conditions. Temperate northern hardwood forest is prevalent at the base of Old Speck. Deep, fine grained soils devel- oped from the sediment eroded from slopes above, support hardwood species including American beech, yellow birch and sugar maple. Ascending in elevation, harsh climate conditions lead to a change in forest type. Red spruce and balsam fir are increasingly common, and hardwood species diminish. Nearing Old Speck’s peak, even red spruce becomes scarce. Here, heart-leaved-paper birch, balsam fir and scattered black spruce, highly tolerant of harsh weather and frequent disturbance, are the dominant canopy spe- cies. ————————————————————— Trailhead -70.94726, 44.59018 The parking lot offers an excellent view of the cliffs on the east side of Old Speck. From the trailhead, there is a great view of the Eyebrow Cliffs and during the summer one may observe peregrine falcons, a species once extirpated from Maine due to the use of the pesticide DDT.

Thompson Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 1 Geology of Grafton Notch State Park Maine Geological Survey Introduction Grafton Notch State Park (Figure 1) has a spectacular combination of scenery and geology, with landforms illustrating the power of glacial ice and running water in shaping Maine's landscape. Deeply eroded glacial valleys, high cliffs, narrow stream gorges, and potholes are among the striking features that can be seen within the park. These sites are easily accessible along Route 26, with parking and trails conveniently located for group field trips. Maine Geological Survey Map USGS Map by Figure 1. Map of Grafton Notch State Park. Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 2 Geology of Grafton Notch State Park Maine Geological Survey Logistics The geology of the park also raises some challenging questions concerning the age and origin of Screw Auger Falls and the other waterfalls and gorges seen on this trip. These features are not well understood (even by geologists working in Maine!), so they lend themselves to thought-provoking discussions among teachers and students. Permission: The park is maintained by the Bureau of Parks and Lands, Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. No permission is required to visit. Further information is available from the park headquarters (207-824-2912, May 15 - October 15) or the regional office (207-624-6080, year- round).

Initially, only a single Devonian event was assumed and Pankiwskyj (1965) appears to have been the first worker to tentatively suggest the existence of more than one Devonian metamorphism. Subsequently, Guldottl (1970) described explicitly at least three Devonian metamorphisms. The most recent overviews of the Devonian metamorphic events In central and western Maine have been given by Holdaway et al.
