91Ô­´´ letter writer hopes after seeing how Willoughby developed, the Township protects Walnut Grove green spaces. (91Ô­´´ Advance Times file)

Dear Editor,

[Re: In response to Question of the Week – does 91Ô­´´ have enough public parks and trails?, 91Ô­´´ Advance Times, April 29]

As a long time resident of 91Ô­´´, I have witnessed the major change in the Willoughby area. What used to be an area abundant with trees, now looks like a jungle of condos and townhomes. There may be a few greenbelt walking paths in the area, but there is not the same opportunity to feel connected to nature like in the Walnut Grove area. Too many trees were cut down for all the building.

Walnut Grove has some great forested areas that I enjoy walking through and in which my children enjoy exploring and playing. I hope the Township of 91Ô­´´ continues to protect these areas and not cut down an unnecessary trees. These spaces provide my family with an opportunity to connect with nature close to home.

Chris Koppensteiner, Walnut Grove
