    Vol. I, 2009 Edgecomb Comprehensive Plan 24 PART 4 NATURAL RESOURCES CRITICAL NATURAL RESOURCES MAINE’S GROWTH MANAGEMENT GOAL To protect the state's other critical natural resources, including without limitation, wetlands, wildlife and fisheries habitat, sand dunes, shorelands, scenic vistas, and unique natural areas. TOWN VISION To protect Edgecomb’s critical natural resources within and surrounding Edgecomb’s privately- owned undeveloped and unfragmented lands; Edgecomb’s only great pond, Lily Pond; the town- owned Charles and Constance Schmid Land Preserve as well as Edgecomb’s tidal frontage and its scenic vistas. CITIZENS’ VIEW (SURVEY RESPONSE) ● 58%, or 205 respondents, choose to live in Edgecomb because of its proximity to water, clear skies and starry nights. ● 54%, or 177 respondents, enjoy the respect for privacy in Edgecomb. Unfragmented Parcels ● 71%, or 253 respondents, defined rural as (Source: Beginning with Habitat) “the bulk of our land remaining undeveloped, with large tracts of backland, fields and forests.” ● 28%, or 94 respondents, objected to forestry operations “in their back yard.” ● 54%, or 191 respondents, felt that nature preserves are an acceptable trade-off for lost tax revenue. CONDITIONS AND TRENDS The topography of the upper part of the peninsula comprising the Town of Edgecomb is typical of Maine coastline peninsulas. A gently rolling landscape of rocky, clay soil, remaining from land which was heavily wooded before clearing and settlement of the 18th century, is laid over a granite skeleton. A mixture of second and third growth woodland is broken by the pattern of open fields surviving from 18th and 19th century farms when agriculture and fishing were the major sources of livelihood for inhabitants.

  • 12 Rivers Initiative: a Regional Conservation Plan
    12 Rivers Conservation Initiative A Regional Conservation Plan The 12 Rivers Conservation Initiative is a regional conservation planning effort of ten land trusts1 whose service areas include the watersheds of the coastal rivers that flow into the Gulf of Maine between the Kennebec and the Saint George rivers. The total project area encompasses about 825,000 acres. This Plan identifies important natural resource areas and themes for protection (e.g. connectivity, working landscapes) that provide the regional focus for the Initiative, as well as the selection of nine (9) focus areas. The Initiative hired Janet McMahon, a conservation biologist consultant who completed the following tasks: 1. Worked with Paul Hoffman(SVCA) to prepare the following draft base maps: a. Topography and hydrography (including watershed boundaries of lakes and first-order streams) b. Conserved properties and land trust focus areas c. Habitat (significant habitats, Rare, Threatened & Endangered species occurrences; exemplary communities) d. Undeveloped habitat blocks (1,000 acres and larger) 2. Reviewed The Nature Conservancy Maine Aquatics Database to identify portfolio lakes and streams. 3. Met with Dan Coker (TNC) to review results of Habitat Connectivity Modeling Project which identified potential connectors between undeveloped habitat blocks. 4. Reviewed base maps, aerial photographs, and connectivity study data to determine potential linkages between focus areas and habitat blocks. Key Findings and Observations These findings are based on the review of the natural resources in the region from a landscape perspective. The protection of headwater first and second order streams and their watersheds is a high priority because headwaters have a disproportionately important impact on overall river water quality.

This paper is identical in aim and method with its predecessor, which was published in the preceding volume of these Transactions. In brief, I aim to apply the principles of exact scientific analysis to a' subject which is at one and the same time unusually interesting and remarkably encumbered with doubt and error. This comparative, method, of which the details were explained in the introduction to the; preceding paper, is elucidating remarkably tiie problems of the subject,. as the present contribution will further illustrate. For convenience of reference I may add that the former paper thus treated the names Oromocto, Magaguadavic, Upsalquitch, and. Manan, and some related words involving the same-roots. In the present paper I have carried out more fully the discussion of the: different names having identical roots, especially in the case of Kouchibouguac, Anagance ancl Wagan, thus giving greater prominence to the extinct naraes, which can be restored to great advantage for literary or other purposes. :: ..
