Clearing of heavy brush may be "good news" for visitors, but it is
potentially bad news for nesting birds and those concerned about
the environment.  Did the park work with any environmental organization
in reaching this decision?  Of course, if the above simply means they
will maintain some trails, that might not be harmful, but the
implications could be larger.  Can you clarify?
