Description
The reference state has largely been replaced by the cutover state. There are only few acres here and there that were untouched during the logging era (1870 to 1920).

Description
The Cutover State is the most common. The logging era and subsequent forest management and land development has touched nearly every acre. Not to say this state can't resemble the reference state after many years have past but it's does have the old stumps for decades and coarse woody debris, downed logs and snags that function as den trees are probably missing from this state.
