[QUOTE="Eric, post: 1376378, member: 16045"] Marc I know exactly what kind of trail you are talking about. I am not saying they dont exist. And I am not on any ones side for this, both sides do a fair amount of damage but we have the potential to do much more damage in a shorter amount of time then a group of hikers. I have seen trees get "knocked" over from driving next to them. I have also seen trees that move considerably when you drive next to them or walk on the softer soil. I have also seen root systems completly underminded by a trail. The push may just be a wind storm, but regardless the tree had a weakend root system due to a trail. This may be due to run off issues on 4x4 or even hiking trails. The bottom line is the tree would still have been standing if the trail was not there. I am not trying to step on anyones toes. I was just trying to answer the questions asked. The enviromental side is if nature destroys itself then so be it, but Humans can not aid in the destruction. Yes I know its not always possible but this is what we have to deal with and what we have to try and plan for. [/QUOTE]
