That's not 100% true...
They have done a wonderful job with the Ragged island project. The entire island is open to the public. They have a couple public docks, picnic area and walking trails. They have just completed a large demo project on the island where they removed many of the old abandoned and unsafe buildings, They are hoping to eventually have public tent camping sites. They are renovating one of the old beautiful camps so they will eventually have a camp directors lodge there.
They also have a lot of land on Stonedam island which is also open to the public with one dock, walking trails and beach area.
I believe 5 mile island is another one of their acquisitions and is open to the public, though I personally have not stopped by there to check it out.
Yes I am sure there are parcels of land they have that have been shut down to the public and without knowing the circumstance I have no comment except to say that sometimes the public is it's own worst enemy. Ever since Ragged Island has been opened up, they have had massive vandalism issues. I personally have seen the
many vandalism issues that occurred there on
multiple occasions and its heart wrenching to all the volunteers who gave their time to help make something nice for the PUBLIC. How long can something like this continue before they have no choice but to shut it down??
While I do not completely disagree with you, I just wanted you to realize that there is a some good with LRCT.
