Heather Stewart, an area resident, said cattle grazing is planned on a trail network that runs above Field Road and the installation of permanent fencing for the cattle will inhibit access to the trails. “Our belief is it’s not appropriate for cattle, it’s forest, it’s not range and it will really cut off access because they’re putting up gates and cattle guards in and although they’re only putting in cattle for three or four weeks a year, the fence will remain,” she said.
