• The core of this [study] will be based on data gathered from aerial photos and images–leads to inaccuracies. • No fully forested watersheds in the south.

Almost nothing, however, is known about private forests which dominate the total forest acreage in the southeast. Studies should be initiated over the next few years to begin to gather these data, but there certainly are no data today on which to base decisions concerning sustainability in the broad, meaningful sense of the word. Although we have a rich base of aerial photographs, topographic maps, and satellite images for the region, only limited uses of these data have been validated by data collection in the field. Indeed, it has not even b
