The Forgotten Forest Primeval - Rediscovering Mt Sunapee's Old Growth

Описание: In the late 1800's, the unchecked clear-cut logging of pristine mountainsides in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire resulted in public outrage that prompted the creation of the White Mountain National Forest. As the demand for timber brought loggers to Mt Sunapee in the early 1900's, residents feared the loss of primeval forest there and took action to stop it. Then, for a half-century, Sunapee's old-growth forest was virtuallly forgotten, until it was re-discovered in 1997 by ecologist Chris Kane.

This is the story of Mt Sunapee's original, primeval forest, much of which remains intact to this day. The forest is classified as "exemplary" New Hampshire northern hardwood/spruce-fir old growth.

Note to viewers: there are two Youtube settings that may be turned on by default, and that many people find annoying.

1. If you find that certain sounds are too loud (eg, background soft breezes), it may be because the "Stable Volume" setting is turned on. This setting boosts lower volume level sounds, and may make them objectionably loud. You can find this setting by clicking the gear wheel "settings" icon at the lower right of the screen. Turn off "Stable Volume".

2. The "Ambient mode" setting casts a soft glow around a video, which you may not like. You can find this setting by clicking the gear wheel "settings" icon at the lower right of the screen. Turn off "Ambient mode".


You can also select a playback video resolution in the Settings menu, which will affect how the video looks on your device. The "Quality" setting is where you can select the optimal resolution for your device (ie, a computer screen, phone, tablet, etc). Our videos are usually created in 4K (2160p) resolution, and that will give you the best video quality if your device is capable of playing 4K. Smaller screen devices (such as phones or tablets), or older computers, may not be able to play 4K, so in that case select a lower setting. Use the highest setting that your device can play properly.

A note to users of closed-captions: the captions (subtitles) can be moved to different locations on the screen if they are blocking your view. To move a closed caption, place your cursor on it and drag it. Also, when captions are turned on, there are a number of caption features you can change by clicking on the settings "gear wheel" and selecting "Subtitles/CC", and then "Options".
