Tonight an unsuspecting boy disturbed a yellow jacket nest near the footbridge and was chased into the park and stung 11 times. I have let city staff know to take care of the nest, but in the mean time use caution around the Amtrak side of the footbridge and let others know to be careful too.
(I guess it would be wrong to just leave the nest there to welcome the deconstruction crew who comes to scape back the beavers’ foliage, right? Just asking…)
