The Sewanee Forest History Project
The Landscape Analysis Lab is working with the Office of Domain Management and the University Forester to develop a database of historical documents pertaining to the management of the natural areas now owned by the University of the South. By documenting and quantifying land use history, we hope to better understand long-term anthropogenic impacts on the environment. By compiling the thousands of existing historical documents describing past activities on the Domain, we hope to inspire and facilitate faculty and student research on the University's 13,000-acre landholdings.
