Title: June 2018 - Mt Tecumseh Trail, New Hampshire
Description: June 2018 - A tree wound on a birch tree along the Mt Tecumseh Trail in New Hampshire. This wound is from man not using proper protocol to remove a painted trail marker (blaze) from the tree. A yellow trail blaze was painted on the tree in 2011, and then improperly removed from the tree in the spring of 2012. The bark, where the blaze was, was cut and peeled away creating a tree wound. See how it looked before it was removed:
