Abstract:

Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest in the Nantahala National Forest in western North Carolina is virtually untouched. Home of an impressive collection of the oak-chestnut trees, a virtually extinct species today, Joyce Kilmer Forest is truly a sight to behold. Deer, bear, fox, and bobcat live there, and the Civilian Conservation Corps laid countless forest trails through the woods for visitors.
