Apparently 'best practice' can minimise the risk of environmental damage during harvesting operations on soft ground and prevent damage to forest soils and slope erosion. I suspect at this location the contractors have fallen someway short of best practice.
I failed to find any research on how many years it takes forest soils to recover from poorly implemented mechanised harvesting operations.

Philadelphia
Development in Philly is out of control, worsening conditions for working class people & the environment. Hundreds of community activists took to the streets to set the tone for Philly's 2023 election: anyone running for mayor or city council better have policy solutions for ensuring long-term, working class residents have a place in this city and that Philly is truly tackling and prepared for the climate crisis.
The march was organized by community groups fighting for land justice across our city, including Philly Thrive, Sunrise Movement, VietLead, Save UCTownhomes, Save the Meadows, Cobbs Creek EJ, and more!

FUNNEL VISION
The purpose of this structure is to act as a place for learning and engaging with the natural environment, where the sky becomes your theater to enhance the user's experience with the site. Since the site sits on a high location, the intention with this building is to take advantage of the different perspectives on the sites view. To not obstruct existing views as you approach the building, much of the structure is fixed and embedded underground. The outdoor exhibit space loops around the top of the mound providing 360 views of the site and its horizon. The funnel that vertically pierces the building, pokes out of the top of the slope creating a large circular aperture overhead, funneling down to the water purification system on the bottom floor. The center aperture has multiple functions, acting as a ledge, indoor rainwater feature, and naked eye observatory for the bottom exhibit floor. Other major Apertures funnel perpendicular to the centered funnel to mysteriously peak out of the hilltop when you see the building from a distance while also providing directed views of the sky. Each floor of the structure focuses on different ideas of the site’s different perspectives. While the top focuses on 360 views outdoors, the middle is more oriented and enclosed, and with the bottom exposed exhibit space completely directed towards the towers. The main material of this building is concrte and steel for sturdy foundation and then finished with cement cladding and locally found wood for interior walls and details.

The A14 landscaping team hydroseeding the verges of the new Huntingdon bypass before it opened. The liquid sprayed is a mix of plant food and seeds and looks green so the team can tell where they’ve already hydroseeded.
