A quick comment to RSG about the forests natural progression of change.NH lost almost 75% of all it's pine trees from the hurricane in the 30's.I don't know what this had to do with any of this thread but I thought I'd throw that out there.The forest does have an incredible ability to take back over once left alone.SS

Come on - What isn't getting busier and more congested? Everyplace is not just the lake. Any of you used to hunt woods ten years ago that are now populated by homes (such as my case.) What you are talking/complaining (?) about definitely is not restricted to just Winnipesaukee. Like it or not guess that's progress!!??!!

As SS said, not sure what it has do with this thread but even further back maybe 1600, 1700, 1800's much of NH was not forested but was meadows & farmland, so I have read. In the scheme of things NH forests are relatively new.

Many people will say that we are losing much of our forests in the USA but in actuality we have more now than ever before, so I have read. I have not done extensive research on the issue.
