Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to collect information that allowed the formulation of a hypothesis as to the land-use history of the hedgehog mountain preserve, and to correlate empirical observations with a limited literature review in an attempt to validate the hypothesis presented.

The author hypothesizes that this land was used primarily for grazing livestock and timber extraction until the homestead was abandoned, after which timber harvesting may have continued for a number of decades. Except for motorized recreational vehicle use the land is presumed to have been free of major human disturbance for the past fifty years or more.
