Abstract:
When Lee's grandfather Julian Weatherbee died in the mid-1970s, he inherited his old rolltop desk. His grandfather had attended the Biltmore Forest School in 1908 and spent most of his career as a forester in the state of Washington. Inside the desk Lee found a treasure trove of his grandfather's material from the school--class and field notebooks, information about birds and wildlife, drawings, and mathematical calculations which provided him a view of life at the forestry school.

A study conducted in the Highlands of Macon County, North Carolina concluded that as long as leaf litter remained moist and intact, the long-term impact of canopy thinning will likely be minimal.

Most of the state's bottomland hardwood forests are found in the Coastal Plain along broad river flood plains. Because the forest exists in a flooding environment, the plants and animals there must adapt to the fluctuating water levels or perish.
