A plea from our neighbors along our greenbelts…

Submitted by Ed & Kay Peterson

Given the extreme drought this summer and the HIGH risk of wildfires, we are asking you, our neighbors, to please refrain from smoking along our trails and in our parks, parking on the grass, riding dirt bikes in the fields or other potential hazards until this risk subsides. We are under a mandatory burn ban so if you see anyone doing any of these things, please remind them that it’s just not safe right now.

It is most likely we are going to lose some trees from the drought anyway and we would hate to lose more due to a fire or worse yet, have a fire spread to our homes. Please, please, please, use caution when doing any activity outside, recreational or otherwise.
