The pace of logging in New England reached a peak around 1910, with the result then being that “the once-great forests of New England are now little more than a memory.” Today, especially in northern areas, the forests have returned and while some are being logged, there are more restrictions in place to prevent over-logging and some forests are protected from cutting through state and federal programs.
