Camel's Hump Natural Area edit
There is conflicting information regarding Camel's Hump Natural Area. The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation claims that the area covers 7,404 acres (2,996 ha),[1] while the Long Range Management Plan for the Camel's Hump Management Unit defines the Natural Area to be all lands in Camel's Hump State Park above 2,800 feet (850 m) elevation, an area that reportedly consists of 1,700 acres (690 ha).[2] To further complicate matters, the Vermont legislature created the Camel's Hump Ecological Area "to protect scarce and rare plants, to preserve the natural habitat, and to maintain the wilderness aspect." By statute,[3] the Ecological Area includes all park lands above 2,500 feet (760 m) plus all land in the Gleason Brook watershed above 900 feet (270 m) but the size of this area is not known. If you have any information that helps clarify this confusion, please let me know. TIA Tom Scavo (talk) 21:56, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
