The Town of Mt. Pleasant NY Hardscrabble Wilderness Area consists of several miles of hiking trails through which many dog lover residents of the Town take their fur babies for daily walks. The Town recently posted No Dogs Allowed signs after having allowed leashed and licensed dogs for many many years. The vast majority of users of the wilderness area are dog lovers.

We, the undersigned, ask the Town of Mt. Pleasant Board to reconsider this decision, which is allowed under the full text of Town Code section 83-6B:

"No dog shall be permitted to be in any park or playground even if leashed or controlled, except when specific permission is given by the Recreation Director in connection with program or activity sponsored or permitted by the Town Recreation Department."
