Here is a “before” picture of the tree cut at Potawatomi State Park in Door County, WI.  It is actually a photo of trees near where the State is currently cutting.  Will these trees be cut next?

This is one of many after pictures taken on June 22, 2008.  More photos can be found at the Potawatomi State Park & tree cut photo set. (On the picture of one of those stumps I counted 75 tree rings. There were many stumps that size).

Here is a picture of land adjacent to the park also taken on June 22, 2008.  That horizontal line is a power line that runs along the edge of the park.  I wonder why the State couldn’t just purchase this land for an RV group campground, there certainly would be less trees to cut down.

Isn’t it the purpose of our State Park system to preserve these natural areas for future generations? Please help preserve this special place by contacting the State. Thank you.
