Bullies In Our Woods

Pittsburghers are so lucky to have vast, beautiful city parks. But there are bullies on the loose in our woods! Invasive vines and trees threaten to squeeze the life out of the huge variety of plants and trees that nature has evolved over thousands of years. We appreciate and use the parks in many ways, but our presence has caused that healthy balance in the woods to tip. Sit inside this tangle of vines, view the changing skies above, and listen to the sounds of our parks. How many different things can you hear? How can we keep our woods strong and continue to enjoy their many wonders?

  1. This is a very interesting topic. With the increase in logging and deforestation we need to take care of what we have now. If we take steps to save the parks we have then th number of trees will flourish. We do not appricate all of the nature that ssurrounds us and we need to see the blessing that the forests and parks in our area ar. We all should try our hardest to help these trees live on for many more years.
