I had concerns with Mt. Lebanon using this area for killing deer. Mt. Lebanon said that it is really moot as the park is too close to Foster School. It turns out that the killing next to my house in 2006-2008 was ILLEGAL! So Rockwood Park can never be used for killing. Did you just hear my sigh of relief? Mt. Lebanon admitted that USDA Wildlife Services was not observing the Gun Free School Zone law, within a distance of 1,000 feet from the grounds of a public, parochial or private school. It was introduced in the U.S. Senate in October 1990 by Joseph R. Biden and signed into law in November 1990 by George H. W. Bush. USDA also killed deer immediately next to Lincoln School, in what they call Meadowcroft Park, along with other areas close to schools. This is why Bird Park is not part of White Buffalo's archery program. I cringe when I hear about shootings near Hoover School area.
So the paperwork has been notarized and the tree is coming down ASAP. MTL hired Gateway, who then hired Steve Liadis to do the surveying to tell me that the tree does not belong to me. Unreal.
What I learned? Mt. Lebanon wastes money every chance they get and more importantly, violate Federal laws.
