Updated: this has been resolved.
Help needed, please read: WVLT is attempting to find out who built these stick structures at our Nyquist Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary. Someone put in a lot of effort as sticks were collected and bound together with twine. These were NOT authorized and we would prefer if the people involved would dismantle them and scatter the branches. ..
In addition the structures were covered with phragmities, an invasive plant not found in this part of the Sanctuary. This means the plant was harvested elsewhere and dragged through the Sanctuary, likely dispersing seeds of this highly invasive plant.
If anyone has any information, please let us know, or at least ask the individuals to remove the structures...
Note: we have already reached out, and heard back from, the local scout groups and wild earth. None were involved. ..
The Nyquist Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary is protected by a conservation easement and things like structures, research projects, and art projects need to be reviewed prior to authorization.
