I just happened to drive by my forest (not my usual route for errands), and I was horrified to see the signs. I had long dreaded the day when those signs would come, but I knew it would eventually come to this — we locals fighting against the developers for the last hold-out of nature. My children & I have played around that forest & hiked in it . I spent hours one day sketching my favorite tree, the huge beech tree. I also used the forest for a photo assignment when I took photography at Ga State. Watching our trees ( and they are ours ) be torn down leaves an ache in my heart that loves nature.
