European settlers in the 16003. This expanse of woodlands was virtually untouched by human activity. However, as European populations expanded into America and settlers moved westward, the forests were gradually cleared, settlements established, and crops planted.
Because it was close to the Potomac River, a major travel corridor, Prince William Forest Park was one of the first sites cleared, settled, and planted with corn. Cotton, and tobacco. From about 1700 until well into the 2oth century, the lands in the park were farmed intensively. Depleted of nutrients. And then abandoned. In the early 19305 the Roosevelt administration. Recognizing the long-term effects of poor farming practices on these and other lands along the eastern seaboard. Set them aside as part of a Depression-era program directed at public relief employment and land reclamation. The plan was to establish the areas as examples of proper stewardship and to encourage their return to natural conditions by preventing soil erosion and stream pollution, and facilitating reforestation and forestation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thorough management plan for the sustained protection and public use of Prince William Forest Park. It is a detailed, informative document that is likely to interest administrators of similar parks, students of forestry and ecology, and anyone with an interest in the natural resources and recreational opportunities that the American park system offers. The park protects a section of the Quantico Creek Watershed that was part of an extensive land reclamation and restoration effort begun as part of the New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps. The author provides historical context for the park's designation and its inclusion in the National Park Service. Crucially, the plan acknowledges the need to balance the public's recreational needs with the essential preservation of the park's natural resources. The central tension that this management plan addresses is how to best preserve the park's natural and cultural resources while continuing to accommodate public demand for a variety of recreational activities. The author highlights the need to address both preservation and use through a thoughtful and comprehensive plan. Ultimately, this book is an important contribution to managing natural spaces that serve a large and diverse population.
