There are several spots along the Rail Trail (dirt/gravel section of the B-Line) where dirt has been dug up across the full width of the trail to build impromptu bike jumps. This has resulted is trip hazards and an uneven trail surface. I counted 2 spots where his had occurred during my visit yesterday. Can someone review and hopefully correct this please?
There appears to be Johnson Grass growing along the Jackson Creek Trail, north of Rhorer Road. There is a small bit on the west side of the trail, just north of the farm. There is much more on the creek side of the trail across from the farm. Johnson Grass is very invasive.
There are a number of trees down between the starry view entrance to rca park trail and the summit elementary entrance- thought it was just one, but it seems like 3-4 larger trees blocking the path
One tree down across Winslow Sports Park walking trail at southeast corner and another leaning across trail that will eventually fall.
There is a large poison hemlock plant on the east side of the Pete Ellis Multi-use path, just before the Polly Grimshaw Trail crossing. And nearby, there is vegetation growing onto the multi-use path that reduces its width.
Erosion of pavement on Clear-Creek trail at the Tapp Road overpass.
A group of people have set up camp within the park. They have tents, sheets hung blocking the view, etc. They have beaten a trail to where they are camping and have removed vegetation to clear the site. I haven't seen it, but my adult son was out there looking for our dog and stumbled onto the campsite. He said if you park in the lot and go southeast, you'll find the camp. They are staying away from the old pond area and where there are workers. We just hate to see destruction in the park! Thanks, Martha
