Current Use and Protection Status: Currently, the forest is in an 



undisturbed and relatively pristine state on the north side of 

 the road. The only signs of human activity here are foot paths 

 that meander through it, some trash and signs of raccoon hunting. 



The major and most obvious threat to the area is plans for 

 residential development. Land is now for sale near the electric 

 substation and roadways have been cut through the forest to the 

 ocean on the south side of the road-
