Description
Book Synopsis: Maine is a beautiful state and has a lot to offer for those who do not mind a little hardship (mostly due to its hard winters in the North), and I am sure you wouldn't mind being neighbours with some of the nicest folks in the world! Maine is one of the most-forested states in the US, with 90 % of its forest being privately owned. Mount Katahdin, Maine's highest mountain at one mile high, is at the end of the 2000- mile-long Appalachian Trail. Maine harvests the majority of the lobster in the United States. It also has 3,478 miles of coastline--more than California (3,427), and over 5,000 miles of coast if you include all of the islands, as well. When I was growing up in Presque Isle, Maine, located in Aroostook County (Maine's largest), The County was famous for its potatoes and still grows some of the best potatoes in the world. Clayton Lake where I worked for 26 years is also in Aroostook County and has been producing logs for lumber and pulp for the paper mills for many years. The North Maine Woods region also provides some of the best recreational areas in the world. Whether you simply want to go hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, snowmobiling and sight-seeing--to name a few options--or your goal is to make a living working in the forest, this book may help you. Or maybe I can just keep you informatively entertained. Through the various stories in this book, you will learn about staying safe in the forest, planning for your trip or your day's work, not getting lost, working with Mother Nature, understanding past and present forest-harvesting practices, protecting water quality, and, most importantly, respecting our forest resource. Other things this book will touch upon include living in Clayton Lake, the history of logging in Northern Maine, the history of the North Maine Woods organization, changes in land ownership over the years, road and bridge construction and maintenance, setting up a logging camp, border crossings and working relationships between the US and Canada.
