We still are looking for a leader for our Wildlife Clearing maintenance work. We're basically just clearing moderate sized new growth from mowed areas in the forests. There is one area on the Kanc and one just north of Jackson NH. This is simple stuff that needs loppers. The area is flat. I...

Some of you are aware of my efforts as a volunteer to recruit a lot more volunteers forest-wide. The deeper I dig, the more I find. The FS dreams of many volunteers, but doesn't have the staff to manage it. So I'm pursuing a "volunteers manage other volunteers" approach. Like Bruce does for...

This is a repeat of the February Chelmsford, MA session. Did you know that New Hampshire Fish and Game conducts over 200 Search and Rescue missions each year and more than half of those rescues occur in the 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest? Are you interested in giving back to the...

Ever been in the woods when a large limb or tree comes crashing down close to you? Happened today on Hancock Notch Trail. Large limb (maybe about 8" x 20 feet, was 25' above me, cracked and as it plummeted, and brought down other limbs nearby with a helluva a lot of noise. It was a little...

Thursday I might hit up the Hancock Notch Trail for maintenance, eastbound from the Kanc./Hairpin We already did half of it from the east side. Expect it to be an easy go, until Cedar Brook. Anyone interested, let me know. Thanks.

Anyone been on the Hancock notch trail between Cedar Brook Trail and Sawyer River trail? I am considering adopting it. I have heard, from various trip reports that parts of it are more of a bushwhack than a cleared trail. I want to get a handle of exactly where the problems are since it's a...

I've been meaning to raise this issue for years. Back in the 70s and 80s litter was rampant in the mountains of New England. I'm not talking about places nearby metropolitan areas, but the Whites, the Greens, the ADKs, Maine. It got so bad that I would bring two plastic trash bags with me...

http://www.wvaia.org/Trails/OldSkidder.html describes a lot of little trails around Waterville Valley. Anyone know where to find a map of these? I'm looking at the trail adopter list, but would feel better if I could see the exact position of each. I only have general written guidelines...

I laughed myself so silly reading Bryson's book that I read it a second time. Looked at the trailers for the movie (to be released this weekend). I don't find it compelling at all. From the little I've seen, it's rather contrived (even the bears and their behavior look fake) and leaves...
