The lights that usually come in at night on the path between The Goat Farm and Olcott Park are not working.
The bugs this year are the worst they have ever been. I think I saw a spotted lantern fly too. Maybe spray?
Dead beaver in the creek along the trail area between the farm's two fenced pastures. This is also near a tree dam.
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 has been a strong smell of raw sewage along the Jackson Creek Trail near the bridge between Olcott Park and Sherwood Oaks park the last two days.
Goat Farm Trail, near Sherwood Oaks Park (This is a separate issue from the large tree that fell by the shelter): A large tree branch has snapped and is precariously hanging over another tree, posing a risk of falling/taking both trees down. The tree is is alongside the East side of Goat Farm Trail, across from the playground at Sherwood Oaks Park. It is between the playground and the tree break. I wouldn't say it is an emergency, but it should probably be removed just in case. Thanks!

Just a question. There are three structures on the old goat farm by the Jackson Creek Trail. They're maybe 10-12 feet tall and 2 feet square. Can you tell me what they are? Are they some kind of bird nesting sites? Thanks for any help. -a curious walker
