§ 2353. Use districts
In the establishment of the Forest Reserve and administration of the Park, three districts
shall be designated as follows:
(1) One area shall be designated as the ecological area to protect scarce and rare plants,
to preserve the natural habitat, and to maintain the wilderness aspect. This area
will extend from approximately 2,500 feet m.s.l. to the summit, and from 900 feet
m.s.l. to 2,500 feet m.s.l. in the Gleason Brook drainage.
(2) A timber management and wildlife area shall be designated to produce forest products,
to protect the ecological area, to encourage wildlife habitat, and to preserve the
natural appearance of the region as seen from surrounding areas. This area will extend
approximately from 1,800 feet m.s.l. to 2,500 feet m.s.l. except within the Gleason
Brook drainage basin as indicated in subdivision (1) of this section. Uses of this
area will include sustained production of timber, water conservation, wildlife management,
hunting, hiking, cross-country skiing, and nature appreciation.
(3) The balance of the land within the Reserve shall be designated as a multiple-use area.
Uses of this area shall include farming, vacation, and permanent residences in addition
to those enumerated in the timber management area. (Added 1969, No. 71, § 3; amended 1973, No. 28.)
