WHITE MOUNTAINS TO MOOSEHEAD LAKE, NEW HAMPSHIRE AND MAINE


JERRY AND MARCY MONKMAN/ECOPHOTOGRAPHY


Western Maine and eastern New Hampshire encompass large blocks of working forests, clear waterways, dramatic mountain summits, and resilient habitat that plants and wildlife such as the eastern brook trout will need as the climate changes. The landscape supplies timber to the local forestry businesses and is a hub for an increasingly important recreation economy. Its valleys and peaks are threaded by 145 miles of the Appalachian Trail and laced with streams and rivers popular with campers, anglers, and kayak and canoe enthusiasts. Over the last two decades, The Trust for Public Land has helped to conserve more than 350,000 acres across the northern forests and is now spearheading the White Mountains to Moosehead Lake Initiative, a GIS-based planning effort involving residents and major stakeholder groups to capture local conservation priorities and create a shared vision for the region’s future.
