The sign above was first posted in April 2025. In recent weeks, the green poop bag dropper left more bags (including the one hung here) in the middle of the forest paths. Please stop littering these woods with your plastic wraps. Thank you.

“To a Fellow Dog Walker

I have enjoyed walking my dog in these woods for several years. For the past several months I have encountered filled poop bags (usually green) left on interior trails and at this entryway. Why would you leave droppings for others to pick up [which I regretfully do]. Please be self-responsible and respect this nature site.

Thank you.
