Ich verstehe, wie schwer es ist, jemanden zu verlieren, aber ich glaube nicht, dass die Menschen in der Lage sein sollten, ein solches Denkmal im Nationalwald zu machen. Vielleicht einen einheimischen Baum pflanzen, aber ich denke nicht, dass das in Ordnung ist.
Was denkst du?

„You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying, organic matter as everyone else.“
Sheesh, an eyesore.
I want to be composted and then added to a beautiful forest floor.
The leave no trace people are now anti-gravesite. Trying so hard you gate keep Earth to virtue signal on social media. Get out of their land colonizer.
I agree. National forests belong to us all. It is not appropriate to leave individual reminders that mean nothing to others. It pollutes the land and makes a mess too.
Not a fan
Report it to the parks services, unless they have some special permission then it’s no different than garbage, and much harder to clean up than the typical garbage.
For a second I thought there is an alligator coming towards you.
Also, yeah. Fcuk that shit. Where I am, this is not allowed. For a good reason.
It’s one thing if it’s a memorial bench ok’d by the forest service or something like that but this is just straight up wrong, including the leavings that are effectively going to be trash or already are. Doesn’t matter if whoever died literally at that spot. I have actually come upon not one but two dog graves in state parks, one was a cross and dog treats and a laminated photo and another was a huge pile of rocks with a laminated photo (was the dog literally under that pile? wtf?). I told the park people and they removed them and one expected to get yelled at by the people who left it, like that is the state of things currently….leave no trace is leave no trace!
I agree.
It may sound harsh, but if we let one person do it, then many more will want to do so, and national parks would become graveyards.
As you said, planting a native tree with the ashes would be a better alternative.
This doesn’t make me happy. I want to lead with that. However, I wonder if this was done by a member of the outdoor community, or someone who cared about someone who was part of the outdoor community.
What I see happening here is that someone ..let’s call them Pat.. Pat loved the outdoors. Pat once mentioned casually that Pat wished that „when I die, I wish I could just go down my favorite trail and disappear.“ So Pat’s partner, who is not an outdoor person, completed Pat’s „last wish“ for Pat, because that was the only thing Pat ever said about what Pat wanted done when they died. Pat would have cringed at this, too.
This is why it is really important to plan with your loved ones what you would like and not like after you die. Even if you are healthy, you don’t know when you might get hit by a bus or eaten by a bear.
Plant a tree, hell, get cremated get put in soil grow a tree that’s haunted
For a fleeting period of time this monument shall stand, but it will all be dusted in the wind as the eons of time passes.
Re-read your comment.
Now have every person to love and lose go make a 5ft x 5ft graveyard plot on the public land. The place would be a giant cemetery.
You are mistaking national forests with national parks… national forests are not anymore sacred than other land and are logged regularly. This is a mild disturbance compared to what they can face. Stop being a redditor for once in your life
