An early rough cut: a 2-minute video documenting a surge in damage to the forest by persons unknown: destruction of plants, bark; fires set. Voice over to come.
A Surge in Human Damage and Disturbance in the Old-Growth Forest

Nobody did anything about “little hooches” built out of sticks years ago when I and other including Catherine, Audubon society gal, pointed it out. Was supposedly being done for the kids. So nobody acted on . Areas were being depleted for weddings, etc. Now you have it.
I don’t have any fern problems and live nearby. Ferns seem to be growing on trees nearby. Maybe give them a chance. Could old hatchery have role?
The entire Seward Park seems less dense than ages ago when I was a kid. Parks Dept. people seem a bunch of boobs. Left “street closed ” sign from Seafair Andrews Bay on point by where docks tied up for winter for months despite obviously seeing? We’re lucky they mow the lawn and do what they do.
I sure am pessimistic about the park and the bare ground problem. I do not think anything will change until the dogs are on leash and kept out of the woods. I have seen dogs run through the forest and disturb plants, birds, and me. There is always a loose dog in the woods, trails and beach. Of course humans build forts and fires. I have spent a lifetime on trails in the national parks and forests. I seem to find it too easy find old campsites and fire pits. I will continue to take these apart.
