Uses of natural area: 



Chapel Swamp is apparently used sparingly by squirrel and 

 deer hunters in season. The highest-quality portion (see map) 

 of the natural area has not been timbered within the past 50 

 years. Old stumps indicate that some selective cutting occurred 

 sometime ago. The natural area is an essentially undisturbed 

 but unfortunately small remnant of the upland hardwood and 

 alluvial swamp forest communities which formerly occurred on 

 the better drained soils along the south margin of Albemarle 

 Sound.
