The native forests of cuyahoga county, ohio

ABSTRACT IN a recent publication, Fr. Arthur B. Williams discusses a study undertaken into the character and composition of the forest cover of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, as it existed at the

time when the first band of white men under Moses Cleveland appeared on the banks of the Cuyahoga River in 1796. The native fdrest had at that time been little modified by human agency, even

by Indian influence, since for many years this part of Ohio had been regarded as a sort of 'no-man's-land' between Indian and white. The 152 years which have since elapsed

have witnessed the disappearance of the forest. Since many of the species of this forest community are known to have exceeded three hundred years in age, the author states "it is

evident that some of the remnants of the forest of Moses Cleveland's day may still be in existence, as in fact they are. Many of these old landmarks have disappeared and the number of

survivors of the forest of 1796 is becoming rapidly less and the task of reconstructing the picture of the original forests becomes increasingly difficult." Access through your
