Portland’s Forest Park is at risk from rampant invasive species, lack of funding and unexplained tree deaths. Now the 5,000 acre park faces its biggest potential change in two decades: mountain bikers want new trails for single track cycling. The city is required to protect nature while balancing demands for more recreation. Every generation seems to face another dispute about this land, dating to the very idea of the park in 1903.
