Description
The Nulhegan Region includes lands of Essex, Orleans and Caledonia Counties in Vermont as well as Coos County in New Hampshire. This beautiful and unspoiled land is divided into private, State and Federal properties as described below.
These lands are of special interest in Essex County. In 1997, a partnership between the State of Vermont, the federal government, and several conservation groups conserved 132,000 acres of forest land previously owned by Champion International Paper Company. This acreage is located in the Nulhegan River and Paul Stream basins.
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources acquired 22,000 acres to form the West Mountain Wildlife Management Area. The purchase of 26,000 acres by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in 1999 marked the establishment of the Nulhegan Basin Division of the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge.
