Even at a distance, the presence of the Chickens Neck Mountain Ecological Reserve serves as a reminder of the vast, protected wild that presses against the edges of human habitation.

The local economy has long looked toward the earth, drawing from the legacy of those who first prospected these hills in search of hidden value.
