The History and Flora of Enderlin Forest, A Mixed Coniferous Plantation in Southeastern Ohio
Abstract:
Enderlin Forest is an unmanaged conifer plantation in Athens County, Ohio. Established in 1906 by Colonel Richard Enderlin and Mr. Melvin H. Doolittle, the remaining 56-60 acre section of the plantation, now owned by the Mead Corporation, contains a mosaic of conifer and mixed conifer and deciduous plantings. The flora of the forest includes species characteristic of coniferous forests. A total of 197 species of vascular plants were collected, identified, and deposited in the Bartley Herbarium of Ohio University during a 1964-65 ecological study of the forest.
