kinda anoying is that, the video breaks up at 1:25 and around 5:11, so i have to update and jump over like two mins, any fix for this so it doesent happend?
This is pretty lame as a suggestion because it doesn't really help much to save the forest as a whole, but I did some thinking and maybe at some point in the process you could introduce (native) bees to the area to help pollenate flowers and add an extra touch of life. Somehow, too, there has to be a method to stop littering or an extra amount of locale-specific negative stigma for littering there. Maybe just a few signs on the border saying "No dumping" could slow it down noticeably.My respect
I'd say one way to reduce the algae is to clean a lot of the dead vegetation out of the water-rotting vegetation helps promote algae growth.
This is a wonderful project Tom! It's a cool idea and it'll be neat to see the progress you make and see that you can make a real difference on it! It could end up a lot better than it's ever been!
That's such a shame that people have to vandalize! Theft is bad, but at least the thief is gaining something! Vandalism doesn't give a thing to anyone- it ruins it for everyone! And all too often you hear of people joining to fix it back up, only to see all that hard work ruined soon after by yet another vandal!
I wonder if any chemicals have been dumped in the area over the last 100 years-stuff could be seeping out of the ground for centuries! The damage probably goes back a long time!
@RogCBrand Exactly, and the township now has a duty to prevent this kind of vandalism from happening again. About the chemcials -- it doesn't seem likely that there has been dumping for a very long time. At most 30 years ago, that's when the area started to be developed.
I definitely second testing the water. Even using basic tests from a fish store will provide some info on what nasty stuff could be in there. This forest is very close to me as well, and it eventually flows into a creek that runs about a block from me. As I recall, these streams have been degrading in health over the past few YEARS. Glad to see someone brought it up and the township is finally starting to give a damn. Please stress this never happening again. Thanks a lot for doing this, Tom!
Yeah I think 1,4 and possibly 5 of the fungus growth are natural. I see a lot of that in my woods. But most of that stuff can be cured if the water is moving. Still water creates different kinds of algea. Just see if you can creat a water flow with all of the fungi and that should cure most of it. Hope I could be some help. :)
@jkilts You should have it tested at a lab. If it is poisoning the woods it will spread like cancer and kill and infect everything. You should serously consider having the water and algea tested.
@jkilts You should consider having the water and algea tested. If it is poisoning the woods it will spread and kill and infect everything even possibly stop things from growing there. I would really consider having the most of that tested.
the opening shot looks like the woods has no problem but you have to walk into the forest to see how bad it is. i seen the water and it is sickning . you know i will help clean it up but i can only get down first weekend of the month. there is a lot of work but with all the help you will get it will not take long.
i seen what the people dumped in those woods when i was down at you place. an it is bad. i can not understand why people do it. they just do not care. you can see that the trees are dieing from something. and it is ashame. the water that looked brown was the worse i seen. it should be sent out and tested. glad the township is finally going to let you clean. it would be great to have it a nature trail
i bet people go there at night and drink booze...or camp out..i dont know about the stuff in the water....where is the forrest next to a town/village.. does the stream come from a town?

Thats nice that you guys donate your time to "pay" the forest for your scenes of blowing it up and what not.

Yeah some of it I know is natural. I'm not worried about the natural ones. It's the ones that are poisoning the forest that worries us.

For the first few shots, I tried to make it look like what I did in the Amazon Rainforest video.
