Uses of natural area: 



The portion of the natural area owned by Georgia-Pacific 

 Corporation is open to public hunting under the N. C. Wildlife 

 Resources Commission Gamelands program. Because of the lack of 

 roads, dense vegetation, and general inaccessibility it is un- 

 likely that any section of the natural area receives much hunting 

 pressure. The entire area has been timbered, primarily by tram 

 and scid roads during the early 1900' s. There is some evidence 

 of fire in the 1930's (Pat White, pers. coram., 1982). There has 

 apparently been no large scale logging operations within the past 

 70-80 years. This is the only truly roadless area remaining in 

 Washington County.
