Cherry Creek State Park Tree Removals

[Doug]

Does anyone know why all of the standing dead trees at CCSP are being removed? The trees are crucial wildlife habitat and they’re all being cut down during nesting season. I left a message and no one has gotten back to me. These trees are in open areas and don’t pose a risk, as there aren’t targets. I can’t imagine someone at CO Parks & Wildlife doesn’t know how important these trees are for cavity nesting birds and raptors.
