ENTS, I found this article while doing a search for old growth around the Delaware Water Gap. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/8/23/769735/-If-you-go-out-in-the-woods-today... It's a liberal editorial but the second half has some rather hyperbolic descriptions of what the land here was like pre-settlement. Specifically the author claims that there are no places in the East Coast left that can compare to the way things used to be, and the only place to really get a sense of that past is in the great Białowieża national forest in Poland. I suspect a bit of exaggeration (especially the illustration included) but I wonder if the sentiment is accurate? JP
