Hi, Everyone-- Someone on the listserve today asked about pedestrian access up the steep east side of Cayuga Inlet Valley, on the Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve. I asked the Land Trust's executive director, Andy Zepp, to respond, and this is what he wrote back:
I’m not on the list. Would you mind letting folks know that while we’ve considered a trail connection between the Abbott Loop and the L-P trails, we have not done so because of periodic use of All Terrrain Vehicles and other prohibited uses on state land and the fact that making a trail connection on the steep slopes would lead to erosion and perhaps result in ATV trespass on the preserve. My own feeling is that this very steep slope ("glacially over-steepened valley wall") is best left undisturbed. I hope fellow birders, in their enthusiasm, will honor this.
