I have suggested to the council in writing, that Schedler be modeled after the wild wooded area in Central Park , NYC. In other words with paths , but otherwise preserved , pristine nature, in all its grandeur. And life giving to plants and animals and us, keeping out pollution, trees providing oxygen, and an inspiration to us all. Here is the link: https://www.timeout.com/newyork/blog/a-secret-section-of-central-park-will-soon-re-open-to-public-after-82-years-051016
It is called the Hazlett Nature Sanctuary. The area is now open to the public.
Dead trees in Schedler which attract insects provide food for birds and are called snags. They could be allowed to lie along the ground, if pose a danger of falling.
But there are enough residents in town who want to destroy Schedler.
After all there is plenty of open space, around town right, around Bergen County, around the country around the world. Who needs it. Above all and most importantly WHO NEEDS NATURAL BEAUTY, nature. If you want beauty go the the central business district in Ridgewood and see all the stuff that is for sale.
Oh do not forget, BE SURE to add a Starbucks on the Schedler property when you develop it properly.
