From this point on to a bit past TLRC is TRASH. Limbs are low. There's sand pits by b dub and couple other places. Really travel the path I show. If you avoid it, I've been dealing with it. Also bush at the bottom of this hill (Miller& Henderson) needs trimmed before someone gets hurt
Tree of heaven spotted in the park. Since they are spraying in the park for other things, this might be a good opportunity to stop this invasive species.
There are a couple of trees blocking the Griffy Creek trail. They are located on the main trail that follows the creek just after the trail makes a sharp left turn. I came from Lanam Road and crossed the creek and started walking up the creek when I came across this blockage. There may or may not be other blockages on the trail. A good job was done removing downed trees on the Lanam Road trail by the way. Thanks!
My house backs up to this park, and there is a large tree that is now dead and seems like it could fall on the power lines or my house
I would like to request that the "volunteer" workers that are cutting new trails into a state-designated nature preserve across from my home be stopped immediately. The state designates "nature preserve" land to be preserved for natural ecological functions. It's the highest protection the state can place on natural land. These "volunteers" are cutting new trails which increases the spread of invasive species. The ecological integrity of these precious few acres is already compromised by the proximity to homes and these new and poorly designed trails are adding to the stress and degradation of this natural space. They are using lawn mowers and power tools which disrupt nesting bird habitats. They cut one Asian Honeysuckle allowing several more to take its place. Trash bags with refuse are left for weeks by these volunteers. I understand that the intentions are to remove invasives but what is actually occurring does nothing but spread the same invasives. It is a misguided effort and needs to cease immediately. I have a Master's degree in Park and Public Land Management from IU and have seen this happen numerous times in other locations. In this case it seems that a small group of volunteers desired a walking trail next to their neighborhood and began "volunteering" to create these trails. While not a big deal on private land, these particular lands are designated by the state for the highest protection possible. I would be more than happy to discuss this further and suggest some alternative activities for this group of volunteers. You have my email and I hope we can come to a resolution that will stop the infringement of these state-protected lands. Thank you for your time.
Please include a map at the City's site for the rail trail like the one for the Clear Cteek trail. I don't need an app, just across map. Thanks!
