 * Moose habitat in Ct was virtually destroyed when early settlers razed New England forests to use the wood for contruction. "Partly because of the abundance of trees, New England yeoman families usually lived in wooden houses. The typical house was one-and-a-half stories in height and had a strong frame (usually of large, square timbers) that was covered by wooden clapboard siding." Fortunately, New England's forested regions are expanding and moose habitat is increasing in CT. There are now quite a few moose in CT."Check out the "History of Moose in CT." at http://www.ct.gov/dep/lib/dep/wildlife/pdf_files/game/moose02.pdf.
