Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forests of Connecticut There is a reason why thousands of people from all over the world flock to Connecticut in the autumn to view nature's finest show. There is a reason why many of the world's producers of fine oak furniture, flooring, and paneling beat a path to Connecticut in search of raw materials. There is a reason why millions of people either come to Connecticut or stay in Connecticut to rest, relax, and recreate. There is a reason why so many species of wildlife, such as bear, fisher, bald eagle, turkey, coyote, and martin, have returned to Connecticut's landscape. There is a reason why so many people seek to nestle their homes in the natural beauty and serenity of Connecticut. Yes, there is something about Connecticut and I believe the something about Connecticut is our State's enduring treasure our forests. These forests form the backdrop to life in Connecticut and contribute so much to the quality of life here. This report is reassuring for the citizens of Connecticut: their beloved forests are healthy. But this report also raises a word or two of caution: the forests of Connecticut are in danger of being loved to death. Unchecked, our yearning to own and live in our own small piece of Connecticut's green treasure will eventually bring about a fundamental and very sad change. The very nature of our forests will change and the reasons that the forests of Connecticut are so special will diminish: less recreation, fewer wildlife, fewer forest products, and less natural beauty.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Forestry, And, Forest Trees of Connecticut The section on Forest Trees of Connecticut was prepared some years ago. By our State Forester, in collaboration with Wilbur R. Mattoon of the U. S. Forest Service, and has been in use as a separate pamphlet. Most of the drawings of leaves and twigs were by Mrs. A. E. Hoyle Of the forest-service. The picture of the Charter Oak shown on the cover was made from the painting by Charles D. Brownell. The tree was a white oak, which, according to tradition, was saved from the original forest in 1636, at the request of the Indians. It stood near Dutch Point in Hartford, and was the hiding place for the charter of the Connecticut Colony during the Andros tyranny, in 1687. The tree blew over in a gale on August 21, 1856.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Peoples State Forest: Typical of the Second Growth Forests of Connecticut The Peoples Forest is located in the town of Barkhamsted on the ridge east of the west branch of the Farmington River between Riverton and Pleasant Valley. It owes its name to the fact that it has been entirely given to the State through private subscriptions made to the Connecticut Forestry Association and gifts of land direct to the State. This forest is surrounded by country roads and may be easily reached from Riverton or Pleasant Valley. Local History "The Barkhamsted lighthouse" far from navigable water is said to derive its name from the fact that the stage driver of early days, when settlements were far apart, would cheer his passengers by pointing to the light from these cabins and facetiously calling it the lighthouse. The remains of the old road may still be seen just above the present road, Closely associated with this settlement is the well known story of Molly Barber. She was brought up in Wethersfield, but after being thwarted in love by her father, made the boast that she would marry the first man who proposed whether he were white, red or black.

Download or read book Wood Using Industries of Connecticut Classic Reprint written by Albert H. Pierson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood-Using Industries of Connecticut Connecticut is one of the most densely populated states of the Union. Its square miles are occupied by over a million inhabitants. A very large percentage of its people reside within two score manufacturing centers and depend directly upon indus trial employment for a livelihood. The various industries include nearly factories, with an invested capital of more than a third of a billion dollars, an annual output worth a like sum, and a payroll of some millions. A considerable number of these factories convert the raw material of the forest into finished products. The report of the lumber cut of the United States in 1910, prepared by the Bureau of the Census in coopera tion with the Forest Service, United States Department of Agri culture, shows that the Connecticut sawmills cut over board feet in that year. Part of the lumber made'in the State is shipped away, and of the total domestic consumption probably one-fourth IS utilized In rough lumber and In general construction. The total consumed by the Connecticut wood -using industries in 1910, including lumber purchased from other states, amounted to 110 feet. The amount of wood taken from the forests in forms other than lumber has been only roughly estimated, but the quantity of lumber annually milled in Connecticut has been determined for some years. This is the first attempt to follow the lumber from the sawmill through the factories. The information here presented shows the relations between the wood - using industries of Connecticut and her forests. It also shows to what extent the State's native resources are drawn upon to meet home requirements, and to what extent manufacturers draw from outside. This report is intended to answer the question of what becomes Of the seventy-two or seventy-three million feet of rough lum ber that are used each year in Connecticut's wood - using factories. It also discusses properties of the various woods that fit them for use in certain industries and the products made from these woods. It gives the average cost of lumber delivered at the factory, both home - grown and shipped - in material. The prices given, it must be remembered, are not market prices, but are merely an average computed from many different grades and forms of each kind of wood reported.

Download or read book A Survey of Diseases and Defects in Connecticut Forests Classic Reprint written by Raymond Kienholz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Survey of Diseases and Defects in Connecticut Forests The present condition of the forest stands of Connecticut is the result of hundreds of years of misuse. Successive clear cuttings for charcoal and fire wood have caused deterioration of both the stand and the site. Logging has been carried on with little regard for the future stand. The desirable trees have been cut taking everything if the stand was good, or, if poor, leaving the undesirable species and the deformed and rotten trees. The added disaster of chestnut blight has further depleted the growing stock. As a result the stands are understocked and contain many undesirable trees. Since most of the state owned forests have been planted with conifers wherever there were open areas, the chief silvicultural problem facing the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933 was that of improving existing stands. These are largely composed of hardwoods or hardwoods in mixture with softwoods in the younger age classes. The task of choosing crop trees brought to light the prevalence of Nectria cankers and other diseases and defects. In the winter of 1934-35 a survey of disease conditions in Connecticut forests was started. The purpose of this survey was to determine (1) the kind, abundance and distribution of diseases and defects in the forests of the State and (2) the effect of species, composition, age and other stand and site characteristics on the prevalence of diseases and defects. The results indicate the present condition of the stands examined and should serve as a basis for determining (a) the best method for reducing damage from diseases and defects in the present stands and (b) by comparison with future studies, the degree Of effectiveness of present treatments in lessen ing damage.

It was the resort of the white hunters of that early period, by virtue of a tféa'ty' with the Indians by which hunting and fishing rights-were to be equally enjoyed by whites and Indians; and so plentiful was the game in the forests which then covered the hills and valleys of Bristol and Burlington, that venison and bear meat sold at a very low price in the Farmington market.

Download or read book The Story of the Western Reserve of Connecticut Classic Reprint written by William Stowell Mills and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Western Reserve of Connecticut This volume is intended to present in a convenient form, gathered from many sources, the leading facts concerning the Western Reserve of Connecticut. There is no book that treats the subject in this way, and it is therefore believed that such a work will be of general interest, not only to the present residents of this Paradise of Ohio, to whom it is addressed; but also to those whose early lives were spent here, and to whom now, as they wander far from the old home, "Fond memory brings the light of other days." We who reap where others sowed can enter into the full appreciation and enjoyment of our possessions only through a study of the conditions that have made those possessions possible. This book is an introduction to that profitable and inspiring study. Early Workers. For much of their knowledge of the early days on the Reserve, and particularly of early Cleveland, readers of history are indebted to Col. Charles Whittlesey, Judge C. C. Baldwin, Hon. Harvey Rice, and others. The adventures, privations, and fortitude of the early settlers have been pictured by these writers in a style that is highly entertaining. To a full and unreserved acknowledgment of the help afforded by the researches of these pioneers in the field, it is not necessary to add an apology for attempting, not a repetition of what they have so well done; but a work of somewhat broader scope, and therefore, of more general interest.
