Debris on hiking trails

Debris on hiking trails hiding places for vipers

Many people love walking through the woods. There is something enticing about the outdoors. The woods on East Campus are no exception.

However, danger can result when the outdoors are not cared for.

For example, look at this fallen tree.

Along comes a happy hiker thinking he will just step over it.

And then...

This happens to him. Venom ruined his day. Probably his whole week, actually.

That is why trees fallen over the paths should be chopped up and placed off the trails,

and trash should be removed.

The woods on East Campus are not well cared for. perhaps if students received community service hours to do so, there would be more incentive to care for the woods, and more people could enjoy them.
