Of
the myriad memories, one vivid image remains, which I could not
capture on film. At one point we had wandered out of the tangle into
a breathtaking site where the trees grew tall and arched toward the
sky, creating a haven under the canopy. Such sites are the joys of
open space.
For information about cast-iron forests, see
www.uark.edu/misc/xtimber/, The Ancient Cross Timbers Project of
the University of Arkansas funded by the McGee Foundation of
Oklahoma City. The project's purposes are to locate and map Cross
Timbers, identify landowners and develop cooperative management
plans that protect the ecosystems. The site contains a project
description, photographs, historical references, bibliography and
numerous links. |
