With two “100-year floods” occurring in a span of three days, these storms were largely acknowledged as indicative of what bad weather in a warming climate might look like more frequently in the future. The damage to this wharf in Stonington—Maine’s top lobster port—is emblematic of the new challenges that climate change presents for coastal communities.

But it was dominated by two species—white pine and hemlock—forming an even-aged overstory above an understory and ground cover of low diversity. Sitting on a ridgeline, it had just witnessed the removal of chestnut trees by blight and was clearly vulnerable to wind and pathogens. Harvard Forest director Richard Fisher led an effort to protect the forest from logging and preserve it as a natural laboratory for the study of natural patterns and processes.

Yet, the director, Al Cline, refused, stating that “the prostrate stand was in every sense as much a virgin forest as the pre-existing old-growth white pine and hemlock.” Photo courtesy of Harvard Forest Archives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/f9fed760-0c85-4247-9c44-3653a4cdf5a6/Pisgah_Today_WildlandsTeam2_LT.jpg The Archive - Putting Forests First - Make it stand out A thriving forest, but one of relatively low diversity. Its canopy, like many second-growth forests that recovered following the hurricane, is quite unremarkable, composed of two age classes of similar sized trees: yellow, black and paper birch and red maple that grew up following the hurricane and much older hemlock and beech that were highly suppressed in the understory of the old-growth forest. White pine, which was dominant for 300 years, is now represented by a single stem on 20 acres. Oak is quite uncommon. Yet, the lack of diversity in the living forest is completely forgotten in the splendor of physical structures that are missing across New England because the region lacks old-growth forests. Eighty-five years after the hurricane the forest supports as high a density of downed wood as any forest in New England, with intact boles two feet or more in diameter and uproot mounds three or more feet in height.

Deforestation for agriculture, intensive harvesting of remaining forests, and extensive and unregulated hunting and trapping drove the decline and extirpation of many native species and allowed the expansion and arrival of many species that thrived in open agricultural landscapes. Forest recovery with a broad decline in agriculture, coupled with hunting regulation and purposeful wildlife reintroductions, allowed many native species to recover and led to a corresponding decline in open-land species. Though 80 percent of New England is now forested, the largest predators—wolves and cougar—remain absent.

These maps were made by quantifying the loudness of the cricket’s song across a grid of recording points, and then converting that information to a heat map in which relatively loud singing appears in red and lack of singing in blue. How would you generalize the habitat use of this species based on such maps? Images such as these emphasize that production landscapes are also natural landscapes. Recordings and more of these maps (including those for the below-described Bobolinks) are available here.

This map (explained more fully in our Hawthorne Valley Farm biodiversity report) highlights habitats of particular ecological importance. The numbers link to a table naming the particular locations, and the report profiles the organisms associated with each of these habitats. This map has been shared with the land’s farmers so that they can be conscious of where their land use overlaps with these focal areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/8144ccfe-b3fc-4201-ad77-b90caefa960e/Sedge+Wren.jpg The Archive - Agroecology as Faith - Make it stand out The tiny sedge wren is so well camouflaged it looks like a fragment of marsh come to life. These short-billed, russet-brown birds live in wet fields and shallow marshes, leaving deeper, reedier areas to their close relative the marsh wren. Their reputation as shy, furtive birds reflects this dense habitat, where they spend much of their time out of sight, foraging for insects and spiders on or near the ground. The song is simple compared to many other wrens: a few dry chips followed by a trill. Because of habitat loss and field mowing this bird is endangered in several northeastern states.

Once perhaps providing shade to livestock, its rotting trunk no doubt is now valuable habitat for a variety of creatures. It provides a useful reminder of the ongoing changes in our landscape and poses the question of what those changes have meant for the coexisting nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/fd1319d5-0db0-4e6b-889e-ad881e118cec/Birds_in_their_relations_to_man__a_manual_of_economic_ornithology_for_the_United_States_and_Canada_%281903%29_%2814749235564%29.jpg The Archive - Agroecology as Faith - Make it stand out “Economic ornithology” explores the role of birds in influencing farm production, for better or worse. This illustration, from the 1903 book Birds in their Relations to Man; a Manual of Economic Ornithology for the United States and Canada by Clarence Weed and Ned Dearborn, sketches out a farm from the perspective of which insects occur where and which birds help control them. This was not mere speculation—late-nineteenth-century ornithologists spent ample time studying bird diets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/d4979c44-1d91-4f7e-9def-a70c591dfe98/Bobolink.jpg The Archive - Agroecology as Faith - Make it stand out This beautiful bobolink painting by artist Linda Mirabile highlights one of the most raucous members of the hayfield grassland bird community in the Northeast. The demographic heartland for bobolinks was probably the tallgrass and mixed-grass prairies of the Midwest. As grass-based agriculture expanded in the Northeast, so too did bobolinks as they found that hayfields served as suitable ecological analogies for their natural habitats. Today, reduced hayfield area in the Northeast, intensified hay harvest whose timing overlaps the nesting season, and the conversion of Midwest prairie to industrial agriculture all pose threats to this declining species.

Realizing they’re present, understanding how they use the farmland, and mapping areas and times of interaction with farm work can be crucial for the survival of these and other turtles. Radio tracking has been a useful tool in such studies. https://www.fromthegroundupne.org/archive/wildlands-and-wildlife monthly 0.5 2024-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/877f5c70-8fbe-419c-8649-8cccd0a6c07b/image001.png The Archive - Wildlands and Wildlife - Make it stand out © Jon Luoma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/ac71ebb2-8fe4-4bb6-872a-32b668a23030/Coyote+Stowe+Reporter.png The Archive - Wildlands and Wildlife - Make it stand out To many, coyotes are regarded as a nuisance.

This would entail a range of developed and undeveloped land in different parts of the region, as illustrated on this map. The areas labeled "Forest Dominated" have 90% or more tree cover, with very little farmland or settlement. "Suburban" and "Urban" areas (mostly in southern New England) are dominated by 60% to 85% developed land, with small but critical patches of farmland and forest. New England has only a few areas where farmland dominates the landscape, with smaller pieces of farmland and development scattered across the "Exurban" and "Forest and Farms" areas in which forest cover ranges from 50% to 75%. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/96079269-aa25-4a23-ba8c-4606a7dc15b3/Figure+2+-+Katahdin+Brook+St.+Pierre.jpg The Archive - An Integrated Approach to New England Conservation and Community - Make it stand out Katahdin Brook, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.

Forests cover 80 percent of the region and dominate northern New England; developed lands are concentrated in coastal southern New England, the Connecticut River Valley, and southeastern New Hampshire; and agriculture is most prominent in the Champlain Valley of Vermont, northeastern Maine, and the Connecticut Valley of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Protected lands are permanently secured from development or conversion, with no specific reference to the type or intensity of management. Wildlands represent the strictest level of protected land and receive minimal human impact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/334f5b3c-1b00-4c5e-85c8-096d75839275/Figure-2-Wildlands-Other-Protected-Lands.jpg The Archive - Wildlands in New England: Past, Present, and Future: A Review - Make it stand out Wildlands and other protected lands in New England. Protected lands and Wildlands share a similar trend of increasing size to the north. Protected lands cover 25 percent of the region in a highly discontinuous pattern. Wildlands cover only 3.3 percent of the region and are unevenly buffered by protected forests. The WWF&C goal of increasing protected forests, agriculture, and Wildlands to at least 70 percent, 7 percent, and 10 percent of the region, respectively, seeks to greatly improve this conservation setting for the benefit of nature and society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/fc229a16-86c6-4d3b-83ab-b1895918f044/Sidebar+Photo+1+Jym+St+Pierre.png The Archive - Wildlands in New England: Past, Present, and Future: A Review - Make it stand out Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.

Strong protections include some “forever wild” type deed restriction/easement and/or state statute, and/or federal statute. Weak protections are those for which the Wildlands are secured solely through self-oversight as embodied in a management plan, organizational mission, executive decision, or expressed intent, etc. Chart by Brian Hall based on data from Wildlands in New England. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/45615d2e-3df3-47df-937b-342ce2ca4456/Figure-4-Wildlands-in-New-England.jpg The Archive - Wildlands in New England: Past, Present, and Future: A Review - Make it stand out Wildlands in New England. The distinctive geographical pattern of Wildlands is characterized by their strong concentration in the northern and western part of the region; a trend of increasing size with latitude; and linear corridors of Wildlands that buffer the Appalachian Trail (AT), which cuts diagonally from northwestern Connecticut to Baxter State Park in Maine, and the Allagash and Upper St. John Rivers in northern and northwestern Maine, respectively.

The Allagash Wilderness Waterway in north-central Maine provides a narrow (500-foot-wide) buffer of Wildland on either side of the river, which is embedded in industrial forests subject to intensive harvesting and supporting a dense system of logging roads, log landings, and log-processing areas that impact the tributary streams. Less than 25 percent of the surrounding landscape supports continuous forest cover.

The proposed Northern Forest Headwaters Wildland Reserve System conceived by Jamie Sayen would be comprised of numerous nearly contiguous Wildland reserves stretching across northern Maine into northern New Hampshire and northeastern Vermont. The Maine Woods National Park proposed by RESTORE falls within this larger area in north-central Maine. By comparison, existing smaller Wildland areas are highlighted throughout the region in dark gray and form a highly discontinuous pattern.

Map of Maine from the original article, which states that the study analyzed rates of forest loss and harvesting in the 19 working forest conservation easements (green) that span 839,000 hectares and are embedded in a matrix of other unprotected corporate owned timberlands (brown) and protected conservation lands (lavender) throughout the state. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/650dafcdc79d35297e710a95/1698028480349-E2SZFQO1GM6HCNY5WHVM/WFCE+Fig+2.png The Archive - What is “Protected Land” Protected From? - Make it stand out Figure 2. Industrial harvesting landscape in the unincorporated village of Wytopitlock, Aroostook County, Maine. Each of the herringbone strips was formed by a large timber processor cutting all four to five-inch diameter trees as it proceeded ahead and reached out to remove about half of the material on either side. In the process permanent ruts two feet wide and one to three feet deep were formed that transform the surface hydrology of the land changing patterns of water run-off and making walking difficult.

The protected lands of New England depicting the Wildlands, which are strictly protected to allow natural processes to prevail with minimal human intervention, and all other protected lands. In this map the large Working Forest Conservation Easements in northern Maine appear the same as other protected lands despite the fact that their management and ecological condition are unique. Conservationists may recognize these distinctions but need to do a much better job of conveying these in their work. We also need to do a better job of selecting the appropriate forms of land protection. Figure reproduced from Wildlands in New England.

The nineteenth century saw a sustained expansion in agriculture coupled with an initial population boom and extensive deforestation. A distinctive aspect of this book is the way in which this history is melded into and reflected on in every section. The dynamic and sometimes transient qualities of nature appear through the appreciation for ancient forests, ghost habitats, and landscape and societal change.
