The Cedar Swamp at the Tracker Camp -- Logging and regeneration

Page 1 of 2

 
The map below shows the areas of the cedar swamp forest at the Tracker Camp that have been cut over the years.

Originally the whole area was covered with a mature cedar swamp forest -- majestic cedars 1.5 to 2 feet in diameter. Starting in 1972, one section at a time has been clearcut.

The 2000, 1999, 1998, and 1996 sections have a makeshift road running into the center of each section, made of smaller tree trunks.

 

This section of the Earth Caretaker website is to show a record of the regeneration of each section of this clearcut area over the years, starting in 2001 (I don't have any pictures of this area prior to 2001).
