Don’t Cut the big trees

Park History:

Judson College Earth Team members asked Governor Bob Riley to please “Don’t let the Department of Conservation log the big trees from the Marion Hatchery woods.” These big trees make up the heart of Perry Lakes Park. Miles of developed interpretive trails wind through the areas that are proposed for logging.

Perry Lakes Park and the adjacent Marion Hatchery woods represent a bottomland hardwood forest of the Cahaba River. Preservation of this type of habitat is a top priority for the Alabama Department of Conservation… all the more reason to not log the big trees.
