Maine’s Increasingly Rare Old Growth Forests

Maine’s Increasingly Rare Old Growth Forests

Author: Natural Resources Council of Maine February 20, 2025 Duration: 35:03
Maine’s 10.4 million acres of Unorganized Territories (UT) are home to the last stronghold of remote, undeveloped ponds and scattered older growth forest stands in the eastern United States. We’re joined by Dr. John Hagan, a scientist and founder of Our Climate Common, to learn more about the vast forests of the North Woods. Hagan helped lead a research team that identified the locations of the last remaining old growth forest stands in the North Woods.
