I don't consider myself a "tree hugger" or similar, but I am conscious of my paper usage to hopefully save a tree or two. I'm not a fanatic environmentalist either, but I do my best not to pollute the water or damage the soil we walk/drive on. A land owner in a nearby county with 50+ acres that has some of the most beautiful streams over granite shoals that I've ever seen... decides to open an off roading course over, through, and in those streams. Trails through spring heads, grading in the stream channel to create a "bog" for the off road vehicles. Broken tail lights/vehicle lights and broken parts are everywhere. After years of operation somebody apparently, finally, turned him in to the EPD. Now repair plans have to be prepared, approved and implemented. In a very short timeframe. It took three full days of fieldwork to map all the damage and a fair amount of office time to draw the basemap for the engineers. I can't, for the life of me, understand why anyone would think that was OK. I'm glad my part in it is over.
