Ascutney View Forest
Ascutney View Forest is located on the northwest shoulder of Unity Mountain in the rural outskirts of Claremont, New Hampshire, a pastoral area of modest homes, small family farms and working forests that checker the Sugar River Valley. Mount Ascutney Ski Area in Vermont lies just over the border to the west; to the east is the scenic Sunapee Lake Region and home to another ski resort and state park. Interstates 91 and 89 provide easy access to the area from northern or southern New England.
Terrain on the property ranges from nearly flat at a small plateau to gently sloped. A year-round brook flows through the parcel, cascading in small waterfalls from the upper elevations, adding an attractive water amenity to the forest. Vermonts rolling hills and distant Green Mountains rise in a series of ranges directly across from the forest. Recent tree clearing offers a nearly 180 degree view...
Terrain on the property ranges from nearly flat at a small plateau to gently sloped. A year-round brook flows through the parcel, cascading in small waterfalls from the upper elevations, adding an attractive water amenity to the forest. Vermonts rolling hills and distant Green Mountains rise in a series of ranges directly across from the forest. Recent tree clearing offers a nearly 180 degree view across the Connecticut River Valley. Mount Ascutney sits across the river and takes center stage as it rises prominently in the foreground to present a dramatic focal point.
Tree species consist primarily of hardwoods, with a mix of hemlock, white pine and red spruce along the upper slopes. Due to a timber harvest completed in 2008, most stands are in a re-growth phase where saplings are populating the openings. Wildlife dependent on such young habitat abounds, primarily deer but also grouse, snowshoe hare and various songbirds.
