The best of what's left may be the remnant bottomland hardwoods bordering the White and Cache rivers of eastern Arkansas, where fragmented strips of flood-prone woodland linger in dense stands of cypress, oak, sycamore, tupelo, hickory, sweet-gum, sugarberry, and cane shading creatures ranging from timber rattlers to black bears. Other notable losses were the deaths of a 423-point American elm in Karlin, Michigan; a 422-point sugarberry in Society Hill, South Carolina; a 366-point American chestnut in Cicero, Washington; a 352-point sugar maple in Kitzmiller, Maryland; and a 301-point shortleaf pine in Putnam County, Georgia. |
