Hello! I serve as the trail monitor @ Lower Cascades Pk. There is a sizable tree down and across the Overlook trail. Trunk diameter is est. 18 inches or more, with three sizable branches extending from the main trunk. I can climb through it but a number of individuals would have issues getting by.

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.

Sycamore Shelter - As of Saturday, March 6 at around 5:30 p.m., there was human feces on the ground near the fireplace. Additionally, there was trash left on the shelter's tables and in the fireplace.
Waterfall Shelter - At the same time as above, there was a gentleman sleeping in the fireplace of the shelter. He appeared to be using this as his primary shelter/home.
As a result from the trash, feces, and individual, both shelters were rendered unusable for families.

Hello,
I serve as the volunteer creek & trail monitor for the LC area. (via Sarah Owens & company) I went by the creek on Friday, 11-12-21, at approximately 3:15p.m., noticing a distinct change in the water. Noting the current construction near the Waterfall shelter, I am uncertain if this is related. This photo was taken near the south end of the creek, about 1/3 mile from IMI concrete company. Trying not to presume - is there a permit in place for discharging into the creek? Can water sampling and testing be performed. NOTE: I returned to the same area on Saturday afternoon, 11-13-21, and the water has cleared. No visual evidence of what had been observed on Friday. Thank you.

Last w/e, found pieces of shattered, clear glass on the limestone steps by the creek. Location is adjacent to the volley ball net. I picked up the larger pieces. Today I walked thru the area; with the sunlight, can still see several pieces about dime and quarter sized. Can easily cut or embed in feet or paws. Can someone sweep or vacuum? Thank you.
