Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as the Pine Tree State, Maine once led the world in lumber production. It was the first great lumber-producing region, with Bangor at its center. Today, the state has nearly eighteen million acres of timberland, and forest products still make up a major industry. Logging and Lumbering in Maine examines the history from its earliest roots in 1630 to the present, providing a pictorial record of land use and activity in Maine. The state's lumber industry went through several historical periods, beginning with the vast pine and spruce harvests, the organization of major corporate interests, the change from sawlogs to pulpwood, and then to sustained yields, intensive management, and mechanized harvesting. At the beginning, much of the region was inaccessible except by water, so harvesting activities were concentrated on the coast and along the principal rivers. Gradually, as the railroads expanded and roads were constructed into the woods, operations expanded with them and the river systems became vitally important for the transportation of timber out of the woods to the markets downstate. Logging and Lumbering in Maine traces these developments in the industry, taking a close look at the people, places, forests, and machines that made them possible.

Download or read book Moosehead Lake Region Gateway to Maine s North Woods written by Suzanne M. AuClair and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moosehead Lake Region connected great river routes through the northern wilderness. For thousands of years, Native Americans canoed these waters. By the 1830s, Moosehead Lake became a staging ground for early Euro-American logging, settlement, and outdoor recreation, with Greenville as its supply center. Early rusticators included naturalist writer Henry David Thoreau. Later, guides like Greenville Algonquin Henry (Red Eagle) Perley and Penobscot Roland (Needahbeh) Nelson promoted this "Gateway to the North Woods" as an outdoor traveler's paradise. It is still today. --adapted from publisher's description.

Book excerpt: In Maine's north woods, a vast expanse of more than 60,000 square kilometers of mostly private, second-growth forestland, sweeping changes in land ownership and consequent large-scale conservation efforts have provoked a layered debate. Many residents of the woods have reacted vociferously against preservationist policies that aim to restrict practices such as hunting, motorized recreation, and timber harvesting on lands where they have lived, worked, and played for generations. The clashes in the forest are multifaceted, involving control over access and appropriate uses, disparate aesthetics and ideologies, and divergent constructions of both the landscape and rural livelihoods. In an effort to tease out and better understand these broader aspects of conflict, I explore the history and culture of snowmobiling, both generally and within Maine. Snowmobiling is one of several practices that north woods communities are identifying as traditional and attempting to preserve in the face of intensifying natural resource protection efforts and ensuing restrictions. I argue that opponents' framing of snowmobiling simply as a threat to forest ecologies can mask underlying ideological, aesthetic, and socio-cultural objections which also work to shape beliefs and policy regarding the place for humans and their various activities in natural areas. Dominant environmental discourses and expectations of human relations with nature are characterized by dualistic ways of thinking that situate nature/culture, rural/urban, and tradition/technology in separate realms. Thus I aim to establish linkages among these discrete categories and reveal how dichotomous frameworks effectively privilege certain practices and people, while silencing or dismissing local social, economic, and environmental relations and histories. However, this project of deconstruction and redefinition is not just my own. My research demonstrates that local residents of Maine's woods are not merely struggling for the retention of access points; more profoundly, they are advancing alternate discourses of nature, rurality, and tradition in a fight to defend and protect their livelihood(s) and culture(s).

Download or read book Rediscovering the Maine Woods written by John L. Kucich and published by UMass + ORM. This book was released on 2019-07-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Maine Woods, vast and largely unsettled, are often described as unchanged since Henry David Thoreau's journeys across the backcountry, in spite of the realities of Indian dispossession and the visible signs of logging, settlement, tourism, and real estate development. In the summer of 2014 scholars, activists, members of the Penobscot Nation, and other individuals retraced Thoreau's route. Inspired partly by this expedition, the accessible and engaging essays here offer valuable new perspectives on conservation, the cultural ties that connect Native communities to the land, and the profound influence the geography of the Maine Woods had on Thoreau and writers and activists who followed in his wake. Together, these essays offer a rich and multifaceted look at this special place and the ways in which Thoreau's Maine experiences continue to shape understandings of the environment a century and a half later. Contributors include the volume editor, Kathryn Dolan, James S. Finley, James Francis, Richard W. Judd, Dale Potts, Melissa Sexton, Chris Sockalexis, Stan Tag, Robert M. Thorson, and Laura Dassow Walls.

This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugh P. Possingham Landscape-scale conservation planning is coming of age. In the last couple of decades, conservation practitioners, working at all levels of governance and all spatial scales, have embraced the CARE principles of conservation planning – Comprehensiveness, Adequacy, Representativeness, and Efficiency. Hundreds of papers have been written on this theme, and several different kinds of software program have been developed and used around the world, making conservation planning based on these principles global in its reach and influence. Does this mean that all the science of conservation planning is over – that the discovery phase has been replaced by an engineering phase as we move from defining the rules to implementing them in the landscape? This book and the continuing growth in the literature suggest that the answer to this question is most definitely ‘no. ’ All of applied conservation can be wrapped up into a single sentence: what should be done (the action), in what place, at what time, using what mechanism, and for what outcome (the objective). It all seems pretty simple – what, where, when, how and why. However stating a problem does not mean it is easy to solve.
