Prince George, B.C. – When a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?

That's a question that  would have prompted a  quick "yes" from anyone around  when a  Cottonwood tree crashed in Cottonwood Island Park.

The tree came down across a guard railing  on the path leading from the  Cameron Street  Bridge replica to the  park, ripping apart.

Crews were on site Friday to  repair the  railing,  and the debris field  from the downed tree can be seen in the photo above.
