Description:
Judge Yvette M. Palazuelos's decision that the Hastain Trail in Franklin Canyon has been dedicated for public use and will remain open to the public. This is a tremendous victory for all who believe John Muir's words: "Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul." We all owe a debt of gratitude to Ellen Scott, the courageous woman who put herself in front of a bulldozer to protect the trail, and who subsequently organized opposition to the developer's plans. Bravo, Ellen!
