The park sees a fair amount abuse. Mostly from the teen crowd, spray paint, carving stupid stuff into everything of wood, trampling across the ferns and such, and of course trash... I keep forgetting to image the trash and clean up for #trashthursday lol, probably cleaned up a big bag full just from this shoot.
The burls were not done to deface though that was more in the nature of grand theft, as burls that size are worth thousands.
