More Vandalism

Here are two examples of vandalism that lead to soil erosion and increases sediment in Spring River. The first is the result of a 4WD pickup truck, driving off of Highway U down the embankment. You can see the effect of disrupting the natural cover on the highly erodible embankment. Multiple milkweeds were run over, just as their buds were ready to bloom. This is food for the Monarch butterflies that will no longer be available.

This vandalism was done over the weekend, motorcycles off the road, under the bridge, disrupting the soil, making it susceptable to erosion and polution in the river. The tire tread patterns (both the truck and motorcycle) have been recorded for Law Enforcment.
