> My brother, Don and I recently visited the log cabin built for Starker
> Leopold, son of Aldo Leopold, author of A Sand County Almanac and
> considered by many the father of natural resources conservation. The
> cabin is in Caney Mountain Refuge, about six miles from Heartwood. The
> cabin site is magnificent, atop huge rock formations and looking out
> over heavy woods and creek bottom. Starker was hired to be the first
> manager of the refuge, which is nearly eight thousand acres and where
> most notably the Missouri deer and turkey population was built up from
> very few animals in the forties.
