Witnesses should have beat them senseless and called the cops to pick up the trash.

Woodpiles part of "park maintenance"?

They removed wood piles left by maintenance crews? Does she call 911 every time she sees a cardboard box on the side of the road too? Report strange white powder behind bakeries?

So fun to see another park user in the video helping to damage the erosion control measures that cost money while they tell the public that it's illegal to bring chainsaws into the park!😂

Every year seems it is teenagers...? Is this partly an education issue.

Multnomah county needs to hold a public stoning as punishment!!

This is the problem in a nutshell. The green government says downed wood is habitat. Outdoorsmen know it as tinder. Hey Tabor Park maintenance, if you want to make piles of tinder do it at your own homes. Easier to put the downed and dead wood in a truck and haul it away than pile it up and move it again. Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires.
