We are having an epidemic of SPB, but the trails aren't closed here.  The
loggers/foresters do what is necessary for forest health and the trails
might be used to haul the timber out, but we all share the forest
together.  The foresters let us know where the timber will be cut, so the
volunteers can remove the aluminum diamond markers.  When they are
finished, we put them back up.  It works for us!
