Fenced Out


Fence

/fens

Noun

A barrier, railing, or other upright structure that serves to enclose an area of ground, to mark a boundary, to prevent or control access or escape, typically of wood or wire.

Synonyms

Backstop, balustrade, bar, barricade, block, confine, encircle, guard, hedge, impound, net, paling, palisade, pen, pickets, posts, rail, railing, rampart, roadblock, separate, shield, stakes, stockade, stop, surround, wall

In other words, the fence blocks easy access to the park.  

Too bad the Wellington Hills fence can’t stop the County from their planned devastation of the park.

Who speaks

Each time I walk through Wellington Hills Park, I consider this question:

"Who speaks for the Land?"

County bureaucracy?  
Private sports clubs?
Developers? 


Or, is there a different Voice to be heard?











There is real natural beauty within Wellington Hills Park.

Sadly, all of the photographed places will be devastated IF the proposed sports complex is allowed.

Trees will be cut down, the Land leveled and a jewel-like Green Space will be no more.

In their place, there will be parking lots, stadium lights and other artificial stuff.
