Biker adrenaline

To the editor:

Is the Palmer Woods Expansion Area an appropriate property tor mountain biking? The conservancy rigorously defends mountain biking, but many, local residents disagree. The Cleveland Township Board ignores their concerns regarding a planned . parking lot.

The new trail construction continues the Conservancy’s push to populate Palmer Woods with more trails that has seriously denigrated its beauty over the last five years. The Conservancy does not view this property with beautiful ridges as pristine, but rather a managed forest that can be developed to expand membership and to grow its donor base.
