  • Mt Tecumseh, October 2020 - A tree wound on a birch tree along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in New Hampshire. This tree wound is the result of man not using proper protocol to remove a painted trail marker (blaze) from the tree. A yellow trail blaze was painted on the tree in 2011, and then it was improperly removed from the tree in the spring of 2012. The bark, where the blaze was, was cut and peeled away creating a tree wound where rot, fungus, and insects could enter the tree. And this is how the wound looked in October 2020.

  • Mt Tecumseh, August 2021 - A tree wound on a birch tree along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in New Hampshire. This tree wound is the result of man not using proper protocol to remove a painted trail marker (blaze) from the tree. A yellow trail blaze was painted on the tree in 2011, and then it was improperly removed from the tree in the spring of 2012. The bark, where the blaze was, was cut and peeled away creating a tree wound where rot, fungus, and insects could enter the tree. And this is how the wound looked in August 2021. Most trail maintenance organizations in the White Mountains no longer use this practice of blaze removal because it damages trees and goes against leave no trace principles.

  • March 2012 - A fresh tree wound on a yellow birch tree along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in New Hampshire.

<br />
From Forest Service: When blazes are removed from trees it is generally done with a wire brush though many of the brushes carried by our field staff have a paint scraper integrated into the same tool. The bark is usually not cut intentionally or peeled off. The one exception might be if the blaze were on a mature paper birch. We discourage the use of birches for blazing but in some places they're the only option.<br />
<br />
Blaze removal is most likely done by USFS field staff (trail crews or backcountry rangers) or the partner organization responsible for the maintenance of the trail. Occasionally it may be done by trail adopters or other authorized volunteers. Anyone not under a formal agreement with the USFS is not authorized to remove blazes.

  • Remnants of a sled road off the North Fork Branch of the East Branch & Lincoln Railroad (1893-1948) in the Pemigewasset Wilderness, New Hampshire. This section of the sled road, near the current Thoreau Falls Trail, was once corduroyed with trees laid crossways. This was done in wet areas along sled roads, and the trees laid crossways acted like a bridge, making it possible for horse teams to cross the wet areas. Some of the corduroyed section is still visible in this scene.

  • Remnants of the abandoned railroad bed at the Gale River Settlement in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. From 1874-1921 a railroad traveled through this area; the railroad was first used by the Gale River Railroad. This was a logging railroad in operation from 1874-1878, and it ended at the Gale River Settlement. The Profile & Franconia Notch Railroad would then take over the line and extend it to the Profile House in Franconia Notch. In operation from 1879-1921, this passenger railroad only serviced the Profile House.
