Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our New Hampshire Forests Some persons may maintain that timber grows faster than I have indi cated. The statement in the text is based, partly upon general observation, and partly upon actual measurements of fallen trees and counts of their an nual rings of increase. As an instance of such measurements and enumera tions, I cite the diameters, number of annual rings and average annual increase of forty white pine logs, twenty of chestnut, twenty of red oak, and five of hemlock, all of which grew upon lands in the vicinity of Concord.

This book was released on 2010-09-20 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take some of the mystery out of a walk in the woods with this new field guide from the author of Reading the Forested Landscape. Thousands of readers have had their experience of being in a forest changed forever by reading Tom Wessels's Reading the Forested Landscape. Was this forest once farmland? Was it logged in the past? Was there ever a major catastrophe like a fire or a wind storm that brought trees down? Now Wessels takes that wonderful ability to discern much of the history of the forest from visual clues and boils it all down to a manageable field guide that you can take out to the woods and use to start playing forest detective yourself. Wessels has created a key—a fascinating series of either/or questions—to guide you through the process of analyzing what you see. You’ll feel like a woodland Sherlock Holmes. No walk in the woods will ever be the same.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests for the People tells one of the most extraordinary stories of environmental protection in our nation’s history: how a diverse coalition of citizens, organizations, and business and political leaders worked to create a system of national forests in the Eastern United States. It offers an insightful and wide-ranging look at the actions leading to the passage of the Weeks Act in 1911—landmark legislation that established a system of well-managed forests in the East, the South, and the Great Lakes region—along with case studies that consider some of the key challenges facing eastern forests today. The book begins by looking at destructive practices widely used by the timber industry in the late 1800s and early 1900s, including extensive clearcutting followed by forest fire that devastated entire landscapes. The authors explain how this led to the birth of a new conservation movement that began simultaneously in the Southern Appalachians and New England, and describe the subsequent protection of forests in New England (New Hampshire and the White Mountains); the Great Lakes region (Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota), and the Southern Appalachians. Following this historical background, the authors offer eight case studies that examine critical issues facing the eastern national forests today, including timber harvesting, the use of fire, wilderness protection, endangered wildlife, oil shale drilling, invasive species, and development surrounding national park borders. Forests for the People is the only book to fully describe the history of the Weeks Act and the creation of the eastern national forests and to use case studies to illustrate current management issues facing these treasured landscapes. It is an important new work for anyone interested in the past or future of forests and forestry in the United States.

Excerpt: ... the trees and shrubs composing the new hampshire forests. their distribution, relative abundance, and utility. Originally a dense forest covered our state. There were no "parks" as in the Rocky Mountain region, or " oak openings" and grassy plains as in the valley of the Mississippi; but with the exception of a few sedgy swamps, the work of the beavers, and some favorable spots near the streams where the Indians had established their rude corn-fields, together with those parts of the White Mountains whose elevation above the sea gives them a climate too severe to allow the growth of arborescent vegetation, there were no other breaks in this wilderness, --a body of forest, which, when the white man's axe first began to destroy it, was equal in the variety and quality of its timber to any on the northern part of the Atlantic slope. Two hundred years has so far changed this, that, instead of possessing a superabundance of the finest timber, the present generation must consider the best methods of conserving what now remains, and can never hope to see in the present young woodlands timber equal in quality to that of the primitive forest. The old growth remains only in parts of the White Mountain district and a few localities elsewhere, which are not easily accessible. That the evil is not far greater is due, probably, to the fact that the climate of our state is more favorable for the return of a new forest after the old one has been destroyed than that of most countries, and because the railways have rendered it easy to use mineral coal for fuel in the large towns and cities. The chief

Book excerpt: “Maloof eloquently urges us to cherish the wildness of what little old-growth woodlands we have left. . . . Not only are they home to the richest diversity of creatures, but they work hard for humans too.” —New York Times Book Review An old-growth forest is one that has formed naturally over a long period of time with little or no disturbance from humankind. They are increasingly rare and largely misunderstood. In Nature’s Temples, Joan Maloof, the director of the Old-Growth Forest Network, makes a heartfelt and passionate case for their importance. This evocative and accessible narrative defines old-growth and provides a brief history of forests. It offers a rare view into how the life-forms in an ancient, undisturbed forest—including not only its majestic trees but also its insects, plant life, fungi, and mammals—differ from the life-forms in a forest manipulated by humans. What emerges is a portrait of a beautiful, intricate, and fragile ecosystem that now exists only in scattered fragments. Black-and-white illustrations by Andrew Joslin help clarify scientific concepts and capture the beauty of ancient trees.
