January 22nd

a bunch of people in my community have been fighting with developers for at least 25 years about the destruction of this forest. It was supposed to be cut down in July but they were delayed until now. It'll be gone any day now (which is making a lot of people mad since it'll kill all the hibernating animals). It's so sad to see the orange construction fence everywhere. People have been tying ribbons to all the trees....it's so beautiful and sad at the same time walking along the path. There's supposedly an ancient burial ground in the forest so some natives have been camping outside the forest and keeping a sacred fire going.
