Mark Twain National Forest is proposing restoration of Butler Hollow in southern Barry County, Missouri along the Arkansas border. The Ozark Highlands preserve was originally a white oak-savannah, rich with glades. Decades of logging and fire suppression eventually transformed the forest into a dense red oak-cedar habitat. And as Jacqueline Froelich reports, certain residents who cherish the forest in its present state want it left alone.
