Can this tree be removed? It tends to collect brush & small branches, clogging the creek. (I cleared those away.) This is by the Sycamore shelter, closest to Old State Rd 37 and by the north-most parking lot. Thank you.
Hello, I serve as the creek monitor for Lower Cascades creek. You may have this on your radar already: a tree is down and across the creek near the parking lot & bridge at the Sycamore Shelter. Trunk diameter ranges approx. 2 to 3 ft.
Tree and tree limbs down and across trail. Location is the trail alongside eastern bank of creek, adjacent to Old State Rd 37. Approximately 0.5 miles south of the intersection of ClubHouse Rd and Old State Rd 37.
The gravel/cinder trail between the parking lot and the large shelter is now a flowing stream. There's a waterfall on the hill/cliff that normally turns and flows parallel to and then under the trail, but has overflowed its banks at the spot where it turns. It's eroded part of the trail all the way to the parking lot (stopped by the paved pedestrian "lobby", where it is pooling). Not a disaster, but it does push pedestrians onto the grass. Wanted to make sure you were aware. Thanks for all you do to keep our parks in such great shape overall!
Limb down on the Rail Trail about 1/2 mile south of Country Club.
Person has been camping in Griffy Nature preserve for weeks and there is trash collecting around this site. Also posted a "no trespassing" sign.

trail needs to be trimmed back
There are mattresses, a small dresser, trash and broken down vehicle parked/abandoned at the northern trailhead on Dunn St. My neighbor says he saw a tent and campsite in the trail early this morning as well. I don't mind the squatter camping, but the excessive trash is unacceptable.
Someone has cut a hole in the railroad fence in this approximate location on the Grimshaw Trail. The picture shows the hole and the insert is the nearest utility pole to the east of the damage.
