Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forests of Allegany County The forests of Allegany County are one of her chief assets Much the greater part of the area consists of rough mountain land upon which the growing of timber must continue to be the chief crop, and it is, there fore, of the greatest importance to the county to make these lands as productive as possible. This is further emphasized by the need of a good local supply of timber to carry on the present industries, and to aid in their further development. The extensive coal mines in the western part of the county require immense quantities of mine pr0ps, pit ties and mine rails; the railroads draw upon the forests for large quantities of cross ties the telephone and telegraph companies require thousands of poles annually; the saw mills and wood-using industries, with large amounts of capital invested and giving employment to hundreds of men, cannot be maintained without a cheap and abundant supply of timber. Not only is better forest management necessary for maintaining the supply of timber to foster the industries of the county, but the value of a well-regulated forest cover in the mountain watersheds for the control of stream flow is of almost equal value. A forest survey of Allegany County was made by the writer in 1908 to determine the extent, character and condition of the woodlands, with a view to suggesting methods of improvement. The main results of this survey are embodied in the following report, accompanied by a forest map which is attached to the back of the report.

Since the object of this work is to demonstrate practical forestry in all of its phases, the aim will be to treat each woodlot in the most approved manner to secure its greatest productiveness, thereby meeting the needs of the owner and showing his neighbors, who may be similarly situated, what they can do for themselves. The general plan will be for the forester to outline the work in detail and to organize and superintend it when possible. Where thinnings and improvement cuttings are to be made, he will mark the trees to be cut; where fire lines are to be constructed, he will lay them out; where planting is to be undertaken, he will locate the areas to be planted, recommend the species of trees to be used and show how the planting is to be done; and so with all parts of the work that may be agreed upon. The owner will be required to furnish all the labor that may be needed. He will have full control of the disposal of the products from the woodlot, and receive all revenues derived therefrom. In consideration of the advice and assistance given, and in order that the woodlot may serve its full purpose as a demonstration forest, the owner shall agree to carry out in good faith the plans agreed upon and permit the State Forester to give public demonstrations of practical forest operations while the improvement work is in progress, and to publish such results of the work from time to time as he may think proper. 6.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green Ridge State Forest is a haven of calm and natural beauty among the Appalachians of western Maryland. This land was once the frontier of the nation, and trailblazers such as Thomas Cresap and George Washington were among the first Europeans to discover its wonders: the swift Potomac, the flowering dogwood and pine in the mountain reaches and the nighttime calls of the bobcat and the barred owl. The vision and stewardship of people like forester Fred W. Besley preserved the forest for future generations of hikers, explorers and families. Join former forest manager Champ Zumbrun as he traverses hidden trails to tell the remarkable story of Green Ridge State Forest.

This book was released on 2005-02-10 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Allegheny National Forest exists on what might have been the most heavily exploited landscape in the history of civilization. Careful stewardship over the last eight decades has transformed it into a beautiful forest that contains countless wildlife species and some of the world's most valuable timber. Local communities are steeped in pride for having written that unprecedented environmental success story. Unfortunately, the Allegheny is now the focus of a caustic new timber war that will ultimately test the limits of American environmentalism. No longer satisfied with protecting the pristine old growth that captured the national imagination in the early 1990s, activists have embarked on campaign to put an end to the Allegheny timber program. Litigation and protests have shaken the region for a decade. More recently, it has become a hotbed of eco-terrorism. But restoring the Allegheny to something activists accept will be far more difficult, expensive, and explosive than setting aside a few million acres for the northern spotted owl. This book examines the communities caught in the middle of that political crossfire and forces Americans to decide if they are ready to accept the new activist agenda: In their own words, 'If we can stop logging on the Allegheny, we can stop it everywhere.'
