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.
