Maryland Paddlers Warned for Cutting Strainers
6 Dec
Four paddlers in Maryland were officially warned by the state’s natural resources police over illegally cutting fallen trees along the Gunpowder Falls River.
The four, some of them members of the Greater Baltimore Canoe Club, used chainsaws to clear the waterway in an apparent effort to make the river safer and more run-able for paddlers. Trout fisherman, who appreciate the habitat that fallen trees provide for their quarry, notified authorities about the tree-cutting.
Maryland’s North Country News has a comprehensive story about the matter and the issues involved HERE.
