[quote="Guest"][quote="Guest"]My family often walks on the Eagle Trail in the Cranbury Brook Preserve. Over the winter, several trees have fallen on the trail and it looks like many more are on the verge of falling. Who is responsible for maintaining these trails? If not the township, I wouldn't mind taking my chainsaw and clearing some of the more dangerous trees away.[/quote] In the words of Elmer Fudd, "be vewy careful." I believe the township has placed this all into an environmental preserve. There are extreme limits on what you can do with power tools and machinery. While I am sure there is a way to get an ok to clear fallen trees, going in without permission and a chainsaw sounds like a good way to get into a lot of trouble. I would go into the township see what they plan to do and if the answer is, "nothing", offer your services.[/quote]

This was done by a single boy scout as a volunteer activity. How is it reasonable to assume he had the means to assure its perpetual maintenance, short of an amazing fundraising effort to secure a permanent endowment. He can’t control what future boy scouts or troops do. And while it would be a nice ongoing project for them, it’s not reasonable for any person, whether scout or leader, to perpetually commit future generations of troops to a particular volunteer activity. Hopefully some scouts take it up from time to time.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Robert Zurfluh</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed, Mar 23 2011, 7:45 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Eagle Trail - Cranbury Brook Preserve</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I use the trail quite often.
