Dear Editor:

I am disgusted with the way people are abusing our land trust properties.

I now live at St. Andrews Village and walk the Penny Lake trails with my dog. People are using the circular parking area as their ashtrays and garbage cans (oranges, etc.).

The people who walk their dogs  and do not pick up are abusive. There is a saying, “Pick it or flick it.” All responsible dog owners should carry bags with them at all times.

The land trust properties are gifts to us.
