The Forests Of Connecticut PDF Download

Excerpt from The Forests of Connecticut There is a reason why thousands of people from all over the world flock to Connecticut in the autumn to view nature's finest show. There is a reason why many of the world's producers of fine oak furniture, flooring, and paneling beat a path to Connecticut in search of raw materials. There is a reason why millions of people either come to Connecticut or stay in Connecticut to rest, relax, and recreate. There is a reason why so many species of wildlife, such as bear, fisher, bald eagle, turkey, coyote, and martin, have returned to Connecticut's landscape. There is a reason why so many people seek to nestle their homes in the natural beauty and serenity of Connecticut. Yes, there is something about Connecticut and I believe the something about Connecticut is our State's enduring treasure our forests. These forests form the backdrop to life in Connecticut and contribute so much to the quality of life here. This report is reassuring for the citizens of Connecticut: their beloved forests are healthy. But this report also raises a word or two of caution: the forests of Connecticut are in danger of being loved to death. Unchecked, our yearning to own and live in our own small piece of Connecticut's green treasure will eventually bring about a fundamental and very sad change. The very nature of our forests will change and the reasons that the forests of Connecticut are so special will diminish: less recreation, fewer wildlife, fewer forest products, and less natural beauty.
