Indigenous Peoples lived around the conservancy in times past. The state surveyor notes call much of the land impassable swamps, but the area to the south (around the parking lot) was less wet and came close to an old military road. The number of fens and spring flows on and around the conservancy likely made it an attractive place for both animals and humans.
Doing some clean-up three weeks after the burn, I found an arrowhead sitting pretty on top of the blackened dirt. Sort of a K-4 Easter Egg Hunt level of difficulty, but it was in an out-of-the-way spot with visibility aided by the lack of vegetation regrowth due to a cold and wet spring. It's the first find of mine since taking ownership of the property in 2015.
