@Evrik: New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. The source you cite doesn't specifically say that the hurricane leveled the prior forest, just that a new one was planted after; is there a way to address this? Also, the sentence about ownership needs an inline citation. Those two issues are holding up the nom. Raymie (t • c) 04:28, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

@Raymie: The hurricane was a regional event that leveled trees throughout New England. I added sources. As for the ownership, the scouts own 1,800 aces in the area ("Camp Roosevelt" (PDF). Bangor Daily News Special Advertising Section. 2016-07-22. p. 2. Retrieved 2020-05-04.), However, I can't cross-reference those acres with the ownership sentence. --evrik ^(talk) 16:30, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

I think it's good now. Raymie (t • c) 17:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this. Footnote 8 does not adequately connect the forest surrounding Black Cap Mountain with the hurricane; in fact, it doesn't even mention Black Cap Mountain. I also think you can do better for a source than quoting visitor information from Cranmore Inn. Yoninah (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes, the Cranmore Inn is not an ideal source. The 1938 hurricane leveled trees through out the region. I can document that multiple times. Spurr, Stephen H. (1956). "Natural restocking of forests following the 1938 hurricane in Central New England" (PDF). Ecology. 37: 443–451. JSTOR 1930166. I am proposing an alternate hook. @Raymie: would you look at this new hook? --evrik ^(talk) 18:51, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Alt1 ... that Black Cap Mountain can be seen from Bangor, Maine to the sea?

The sources check out and are of better quality than tourist information, so I'm going to restore the tick. (Pinging Yoninah) Raymie (t • c) 19:38, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
