GORHAM â A half-year effort to help nonmotorized recreationalists more easily find in-town trailheads and other outdoor amenities is underway, thanks to $40,000 in federal grants that have been funneled through the Northern Border Regional Commission to the Concord-based Northern Forest Center.
Gorham is one of a number of âsub-recipientâ communities participating in a regional effort to attract outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, bicycling, paddling, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, mushing and horseback riding.
The select board voted at its Mondayâs meeting, July 26, to accept the grant to build and install five new three-panel kiosks in high-need recreational areas and trailheads and two new single-panel kiosks at each end of Caseyâs Way, a multi-model pathway that starts on Route 2 and runs to the municipal airport.
GORHAM â The White Mountain National Forest recently welcomed new Androscoggin District Ranger Josh Sjostrom.Â
Sjostrom comes to the Androscoggin Ranger District from the Mother Lode Field Office of the federal Bureau of Land Management in central California, where he has served as the assistant field manager.
Prior to his service with the Bureau of Land Management, Sjostrom worked for the U.S. Forest Service for almost 15 years, beginning his federal career on the Androscoggin Ranger District of the White Mountain National Forest as a forestry technician.
âIâm very pleased to welcome Josh back to the White Mountain National Forest,â said White Mountain National Forest supervisor Derek Ibarguen. âHis diverse background and leadership will be a great benefit on the district and the White Mountain National Forest.â
