北方森林历史公园(Northern
Forest Heritage Park)
地方性遗产
在白山国家森林(White
Mountain National Forest)除了露营外，仍有许多事可以做，如：钓鱼、健行、寻找麋鹿及滑雪，但它也是一个学习当地历史的好地方。北方森林历史公园就位在新罕布夏国家森林(New
Hampshire National Forest)内。这个公园内有一座博物馆及其他的建筑物，游客可在此得知当地伐木工业的相关资料。事实上，北方森林历史公园是美国境内历史最悠久的伐木业者，现在仍在营业中。
被视为「活动森林」(working
forest)的北方森林历史公园座落于安德罗斯科金河(Androscoggin
River)河畔。这儿是19世纪中期及20世纪初期的主要的伐木及纸浆工业区。北方森林能供应大量的树木，而安德罗斯科金河则为锯木厂提供水力。工厂内的工人则是来自于挪威、苏俄、爱尔兰及义大利的移民。结果，这个地区开始发达起来，好几家公司前来此处设厂，希望能自木头及纸浆业获利。在此同时，人们也开始实施维护树木生长的措施，如：创建国内第一个工业用林业管理计划。
下一次当您置身森林时，想想您能在森林内做的事及您身边的自然资源。
There's plenty to do besides camping in White Mountain National Forest, such as fishing, hiking, spying on moose, and skiing. But it's also a good place to learn about local history. Within this New Hampshire National Forest is the Northern Forest Heritage Park. The park has a museum and other buildings that tell visitors about the local logging industry. In fact, Northern Forest Heritage Park runs the oldest continuous logging operation in the United States.
Considered a "working forest," the Northern Forest Heritage Park is located along the Androscoggin River. This was a major area in the logging and paper industry in the mid-19th and early-20th centuries. The Northern Forest offered a large supply of trees, and the Androscoggin River provided water power for the sawmills. Immigrants from many countries including Norway, Russia, Ireland, and Italy worked in the mills. As a result, the area boomed and several companies were established to take advantage of the wood and paper industries. At the same time, efforts were made to keep a forest growing, including the establishment of the first industrial forestry program in the nation.
Next time you are in a forest, think about all the things you can do there, as well as all the natural resources around you.
