BIRD TRAPPING IN PEEL FOREST
Sir, —On Sunday my husband decided to take us all for our first glimpse of Peel Forest, namely, the bird sanctuary. Imagine our horror when, on taking a walk through Bland’s Track, we found traps set right in our path. If it had not been for the piece of apple nailed to the tree, which we noticed, my little boy of two years would have walked right into the trap. Going a little further, my husband took a bird out of a trap. On the board outside it is stated that the track is open to the public. Is there not a ranger at Peel Forest? If there is, shame on him for neglecting his duties.—Yours, etc.'SIGHTSEER. June 17. 1946. [This letter was referred to the chairman of the Peel Fojest Park Board (Sir Hugh Acland), who had no comment to make.]
