Human history in the  watershed
History
Summary
Another key element to the  retrospective study is the human history of the watershed.  Numerous questions might be answered from existing information that has never been pulled together. 
   What was the extent of Native American influence?
   How did early settlers change the forest?
   What were the actual intentions of federal managers through time?
   What intentions are being contemplated for the forest in the future?
   Is vital historical information being lost?
These and other questions are being explored.
