S2Black cherry is one of the most valuable eastern hardwoods, but guides for choosing suitable seed sources for planting stock are limited. After 14 years, survival of 8 of 24 sources planted is greater than 70 percent, and there are no significant differences in height. These sources offer the greatest potential for planting in northwestern Pennsylvania; they include four Pennsylvania sources and one each from Tennessee, West Virginia, Ohio, and Virginia. Although these planted trees survived and grew satisfactorily, they did not grow better than nearby natural seedlings. If natural seedlings are available, the need or desirability of planting is questionable.S3.

Barbara McMartin narrates the history of Adirondack environmental policy in depth, beginning with the 1970 formation of the Adirondack Park Agency, set up to regulate private development and to oversee the planning of public terrain. Although hailed as the most innovative land-use legislation of its time, it ignited a wildfire of controversy, creating a landscape of conflict. Park residents protested. Government stood firm. Over the decades, disparate groups have sought to shape an effective program to protect Adirondack wildland but cannot seem to work together. This is the first comprehensive account of that ongoing drama: a stirring story of the environmental movement, public action, and government failure and success.
