I am posting a question to this group because of a recent thread
that led from cutting down trees to morel mushrooms.  At least
one person who posted seemed to know about the morels that grow
in northern Michigan in the areas in which trees were cut down,
and therefore must know something about forests in northern
Michigan.

I am a native of Benzie county in that area, and am writing some
local history.  I want to say something about the beautiful
hardwood forests of today that have replaced the stumplands that
the lumbermen left behind in Benzie and Leelanau counies.

It is my impression that the hardwoods were not in any way a
natural second growth, but were planted in the 1930's by
the Civilian Conservation Corps.  I am trying to verify this.

I have written to a CCC Alumni organization in Jefferson
Barracks, MO, and to an officer in the organization who lives in
Grayling, MI, but so far have had no response.

Can anybody help?
