Abstract:

Panthertown Valley in Jackson County is an ecological treasure with rare plants, animals, and wild brook trout. The valley was, at one time, under great pressure from developers who wanted to turn it into a resort and vacation area. Venters describes the cooperative effort that was made to save the area and preserve it as a living laboratory for future biologists and botanists.
