In 2006, the Wildlands Project completed From the Adirondacks to Acadia: A Wildlands Network Design for the Greater Northern Appalachians, a detailed map of the Northeast U.S. and Southeast Canada. It covers 95 million acres across the U.S.-Canada border and identifies 13 of the most important areas for connectivity. The Northern Green Mountains is one linchpin for connectivity, tying the wilderness areas of Maine and Quebec to the rest of the Appalachians to the south. As the wood products and agricultural industries in the Northern Appalachians continue to change and development pressures swell, many landowners are selling. To protect wildlife in this area, it is necessary to embrace those cultural practices that are economically viable and work with nature, like maple sugaring, wood-crafting, low-impact forestry, organic agriculture, and nature-based tourism. A steering committee has been formed, and over the course of the next year the committee will build support for the protection of this wildlife passage. The steering committee’s members include people working for: Appalachian Corridor Appalachien, Forest Watch, The Nature Conservancy of Canada, Northeast Wilderness Trust and Two Countries, One Forest.
