Dear Editor,
There was a policy in Crippen Park to frustrate the beavers in an effort to drown the last alders in the swamp. This effort changed, now our oldest seniors are frustrated in their effort to keep moving from bench to bench to bench. Old lungs and legs, especially after a stroke, do not climb hills well anymore. Even trails become a necessity. Now they are flooded by the beavers efforts – and to put on rubber boots is an effort I can not do anymore. Neither are visitors equipped that way.
I am here nearly 30 years doing my daily walks. First I went up Mt. Gardner, and explored Roger Curtis, later I walked around the lake, then I walked to the lake and now just to the meadow. Is there any help in sight for the flooded trails?
