To The Summit We Go!
by abrunkhorst
Bart Johnson, Winter 2020 | Mount Pisgah, OR
The Mount Pisgah Park is expecting a massive increase of visitors within the next 20 years. This bodes poorly for the local ecology! The park trails across Mount Pisgah have been redesigned to avoid fragile ecosystems. Anticipating more visitation to the summit, where old algae and nesting habitats reside, more hardscape and a long, multi-functional bench are installed. The bench allows people to rest and enjoy viewsheds from a variety of positions, while openings in the hardscape allow visitors to see the native vegetation of Mount Pisgah.
