This section of the Chickadee Trail shows how the forest is actively managed to protect its health. In 2004, Douglas-fir trees in this area were removed to contain laminated root rot, a disease that spreads through tree roots and causes them to decay. The clearing allowed more sunlight to reach the forest floor, encouraging plants such as salmonberry to thrive. Today the more open understory attracts a variety of birds, including chickadees, wrens, and dark-eyed juncos.
