Abstract: Trap Pond State Park, considered to be at the northernmost natural extent of the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) in this country, has several management issues that must be addressed to preserve this unique habitat. There are several short-term explanations for these problems, as well as several proposed short-term solutions. However, historic land use patterns (establishing sawmills, grist mill operation, mining, etc.) have impacted the area for over two centuries and, at the very least, have contributed to the park's present environmental problems. Attempts to address these issues must account for the cumulative effects of both the long-term and short-term uses of the Trap Pond watershed.
