Abstract:
Balds are open, grassy mountaintops without trees, and are ideal sites for camping, hiking and hunting. When citizen of North Carolina Glen Tig discovered bulldozing in Stratton Bald, he went to Senator Jesse Helms for help. Further review found that Forest Service biologists incorrectly classified the bald, thereby allowing for bulldozing.
