January 30th 2017: informal survey of sword fern die-off locations
High Confidence Sites
- Seward Park's ground zero
- Upper Luther Burbank Park (no formal assay yet)
Medium Confidence Sites (false positives possible)
- Seward Park, northwest corner
- Cheasty Moutain View
- Lake Sammamish
- North Mercerdale
- Dead Horse Canyon (15 recently dead ferns within 600 sq. ft. - forest steward Peter Mason)
- Coal Creek
The intrepid and observant Al Smith contributed ALL of the die-off reports in the map except for the original ground zero site. Our research would be impoverished without his contributions.
