- Abstract:
- "Forests are the natural vegetative cover for most of New England. In many parts of our region, the forests have been cleared twice, yet today they continue to dominate the landscape. Our forests have also faced threats, such as the introduced chestnut blight, which removed this once dominant tree species from the landscape. Despite this and other losses, we continue to enjoy the many essential benefits forests provide to our daily lives, such as clean water, carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat, scenic landscapes, recreational opportunities, and forest products. In other words, our forests are resilient."
