		The Torne and the Valley to the south of it are important wildlife habitat, rich in herptofauna and bird life, including threatened species.
		While the rocky summit of the Torne lies within the park, the terraces descending towards the Ramapo River, an important element of the scenic vista from the major highways, are not protected.
		Part of the Valley is owned by local governments and utilities; the balance of the land (Torne and Valley) has long been held by the Ramapo Land Company, which is now interested in selling off its holdings.

	NYNJTC: Comments on Torne Valley
		We have 20-30 miles of hiking trails near the Valley — to the top of the Torne, the Pulpit, the Russian Bear and the Suffern-Bear Mountain Trail on Nordkopf Mountain, one of the very first trails built by the Trail Conference in Harriman.
		We will build more trails in the new Torne Valley addition to the state park, making connections to the existing trails, but only if the power plants are not built.
		Protecting Torne Valley is not just about protecting plant and animal species, it is about nurturing the human species, the human spirit that is so connected to nature through hiking or other activities.

		The gently sloping sides of the lush Torne Valley (Tornedalen) are one of the most welcoming sights in northern Sweden.
		The valley is home to Swedes, Finns and Sami, who all speak an arctic dialect knowns, in Swedish at least, as tornedalsfinska - Torne Valley Finnish.
		The area is refreshingly different from the coast and from the heavily wooded inland regions of the country; the villages here are small, often no more than a couple of wooden cottages surrounded by open flower meadows running down to the river´s edge - the open plains providing much-needed grazing land for the farmer´s livestock.

		Finally, a compromise was reached in order to establish the new border along the Torne river and half of the population (the Finnish-speakers) found themselves on the Russian side of the border.
		Finnish (including Tornedalen Finnish) is proposed to gain official status as a minority language and both Swedenfinns and Tornedalians are proposed to become official minority groups (in addition to Sami, Romani and Jews).
		This is causing some conflicts in the Torne Valley because Tornedalen Finnish has not been given the status of a language different from standard Finnish.

		In 1736 he was given a state grant to lead a meridian expedition up to the Torne Valley in order to determine whether Isaac Newton’s theory that the Earth was flattened at the poles was correct.
		It is possible that the Swedish scientist Anders Celsius persuaded the Frenchmen to choose the Torne Valley in particular for their surveying.
		The expedition lasted from June 1736 to June 1737, and succeeded in demonstrating that Newton’s theory indeed is correct.
