| This initial series of photos displays the
results of much of the logging work, which was the focus at the start of
the project. During this time, we also met Korwyn Peck, Sr. Construction
Inspector for 4LEAF, Inc. He allowed us to have limited access to the site
for photos and has begun providing photos for this website. Since access
to the interiors is severely restricted, without his assistance, we would
have much less to show you. Click on any bordered picture for a larger version. |

Tree removal along the perimeter road continued into
December, dramatically opening up the views of the Immigration Station. It
appears that the trees still standing along the road will remain, but 1 or
2 large acaccias by the barracks appeared to be coming down. |
Excavation on the main lawn of the Immigration Station. |
