Official State Soil: Chesuncook
June 15th

Chesuncook soils support vast expanses of forests that are home to deer, bear, and lynx. They seep into lakes, streams, and rivers where lake trout and brook trout thrive. Autumn is striking on Chesuncook soils as the different trees-red spruce, balsam fir, American beech, and sugar maple-each change color (or not) at their own pace.

Chesuncook soils are excellent for growing trees used in building lumber and wood products such as furniture.
