Bowdoin Pines Details
With a long history dating back to before the days of settlers, the woods of Maine have had many uses. From trade routes to fortifications, and now the tourist industry, what has never changed is the lumber industry that has always taken advantage of the robust forests. While the conservation efforts nowadays have kept the great woods intact, it is from earlier times that most old-growth disappeared. Few trees today have stood the test of time, though there are a few spots, such as the Bowdoin Pines, that have stood for over 200 years.
