Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 44 specimens collected within 10 miles of Forest (historical) between 1839 and 1951: 20 Fungi, 18 Plantae, 6 Animalia. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Chase, H. (Hazel), Eric G. Chapman, J. Wolle and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 3 workings within 5 miles of Forest (historical): 3 past producers. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
