Default chipmunks??

My experience with chipmunks is that they don't leave anything. I don't
know if they carry it off or just dig down and nibble till it's all
gone. We've had iris beds completely wiped out before.

They are notorious for digging near home foundations and causing water
problems. They could easily undermine rocks and other features around
your pond and cause problems. They *love* to chew on bulbs and during
hard winters they will kill small shrubs by eating the bark and
"girdling" them.

woods on over 16 acres, I rarely see these critters, I saw more in the
suburbs back yard!)

soooooo what damage can chipmunks do?
I suppose they 'might' burrow down & chew on the liner?

should I worry much?
