	Proceedings of the regional workshop on forests for poverty reduction: can community forestry make money? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		For delimiting private plots, the private hill plots (barren sandy land and beach land) allocated to the commune members to plant trees and grasses should be used for a long-term period.
		The private hill plots, responsibility hill lands, and all or parts of the forested lands managed in a unified way by the collective were allocated to households (which was called the privately-managed forest land).
		After the forest trees on hill land were allocated to the households, some forest farmers wanted to transfer the young and middle-aged plantations in their hands to others due to uncertainty of stable income in the future, urgent need of funds, or anxiousness of changes in forestry policy.

	St Mary's Glacier [saintmarys]
		Although the much used wagon and stagecoach road from Central City to Georgetown traversed Yankee Hill at a much earlier time, little serious thought was given to the mining potential of the area until rich gold float was found there, near the surface, in the 1890s.
		Both the hill and the town that later grew up on it were named by northern sympathizers during the Civil War.
		While this would seem to present a sociological paradox, research has failed to turn up any alternative information beyond the fact that the beer glasses in the local saloon were small while the Denver booze jugglers served their product in 36 ounce glasses.

		A barren knob of earth and rock, topped by stunted pines, it spreads out in steep ridges north of Road One from Jerusalem to Jericho.
		To the south is spread out the vast settlement block of Maale Adumim, overlooking the road; to the north, the land unfolds to the distant Jerusalem neighbourhoods of Mount Scopus and French Hill.
		The answer is to be found in the settlement of Maale Adumim, opposite Hill E1, where residents who would be linked to Jerusalem by the proposed new development are split over its necessity, a reflection of the deeper splits in Israeli society.

	Lafayette Hill PA Guide with Lafayette Hill PA Hotels, Resorts and Inns
		Lafayette Hill is a small unincorporated community in Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.

	Southern California Genealogical Society: Los Angeles City Cemetery
		In January 1860, the Los Angeles Star editorial noted, “…On a barren hill-top, or in the open plain, bodies are interred, with apparently little care whether it remain sacred to that purpose or not.
		The cemetery continued to be used, and continued to be the source of complaints and concern, over the next twenty or so years.
		And Robert Snell Carlyle [Carlisle], 1827-1865, the diamond-toothed gunfight victim who was said to have founded the cemetery, was relocated to Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California.

		The rugged, barren hill is the city's preeminent landmark, rising up over the entrance to the harbor and topped by a craggy castle with a flag fluttering high overhead -- the signal of the name.

	Anaconda's Smelter Hill is Looking Greener These Days
		Then, when the smelter closed, the stack became a symbol of the challenges that face communities dependent on mining finite resources, and the hill, barren of vegetation, symbolized the consequences of early smelting techniques.
		Though Smelter Hill has some fl slag piles along its base, most of it is just barren subsoil dusted with many year's accumulation of heavy metals and arsenic that dropped from the stack's smoke, says Neuman.
		Special equipment was needed to work on the 22 percent slope of the hill, and troughs were made to control surface water runoff.

	The Hill Tarn
		It lies on the summit of a vast barren hill, its cradle being the hollow of a crater.
		The clouds rise above the crests of the west and pass beyond the crests of the east: snow, the steel-blue sleet, the grey rains, sweep past overhead.
		In summer, a vast cumulus will sometimes for hours overlean the barren crater and fill the tarn with a snowy wonderland and soft abysses of rose and violet: sometimes a deep, cloudless azure will transmute it to a still flame of unruffled, shadowless blue.

		Ten years after the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1521, an Indian peasant named Juan Diego saw a beautiful lady standing on the barren hill of Tepeyac (where the temple to an Aztec goddess had stood before the Spanish missionaries arrived).
		The lady was dressed like an Indian woman, she had Indian features and she spoke to Juan Diego in his own language, calling him "my little son." She gave him a message for Bishop Zumarraga: "Build my church here." Juan Diego's story was doubted; he was illiterate, naïve.
		Three days later, Juan Diego returned, his arms full of roses gathered from the barren hill; his tilma, or cloak, imprinted with the Lady's image.
