(NEW YORK) — Vandals have destroyed a specialized viewfinder that allowed colorblind visitors to see the vibrant fall foliage in Tennessee, officials said.<\/p>\n

The incident took place sometime during the night on Sept. 21 when officials from the National Park Service said that vandals not only destroyed the specialized viewfinder located in the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area in Oneida, Tennessee, but also managed to rip \u201ca large hole in the floor of the overlook balcony that has been temporarily repaired but will have to be completely replaced later this autumn,\u201d according a statement from the National Park Service released on Monday regarding the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndividuals with protanopia and protanomaly \u2014 more commonly known as red-green color blindness \u2014 are not able to fully observe the effect of nature’s transition from deep green to brilliant shades of red, orange and gold,\u201d officials said. \u201cThe viewfinder featured lenses for alleviating red-green color deficiencies, enabling visitors with color blindness to see the foliage just as it appears to people with typical vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Park Service had partnered with the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development to install the specially-equipped viewfinder at Big South Fork\u2019s East Rim Overlook, a popular overlook that offers impressive views of the Big South Fork River gorge.<\/p>\n

“The National Park Service strives to provide opportunities for people to enjoy their park to the greatest extent possible,\u201d said Superintendent Niki Stephanie Nicholas. \u201cBut thanks to an act of sheer, wanton vandalism, visitors with color blindness will no longer be able to experience the joy of seeing the majestic fall colors of this beautiful landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone with information concerning this incident is encouraged to contact the NPS at 423-215-9740 or leave a confidential message on the Resource Protection Tip Line at 423-569-7301.<\/p>\n
