Nature Preserve West Trail
We are experiencing destruction on the West Trail. People are entering the trail from Clark Way on four-wheelers which is strictly forbidden and have also noticed the cutting and removal of trees. If you hear of anyone doing this, please report them. We are contemplating setting up cameras and a barrier as posted signs are being ignored. We are asking that our hikers go only to the Observation Deck and not into the old forest part of the West Trail (see marked map) until we are able to clean it up. Thank you.
