Hammock Grove is a place open to the public where tourists and school children can go to relax in a cozy hammock with their friends and family. Although, in this section of Hammock Grove, there are wooden fences put down to protect trees. Because this is a hotspot for tourists and school children, many people don't respect the work that has been done, and knock down the fences. Even just when walking by, it is easy to see all the fences that have been broken preventing proper safety of the trees, and causing the rate of photosynthesis to decrease. By putting up these fences, the workers of Governors Island are trying to clean up and rebuild this site to reach a point where this is productive for the environment and a good spot for tourists.
