| Al Foster Trail & Trailhead |
 |
The Al Foster Trail and Trailhead are both still closed to the public. These areas sustained damage during the flooding last month and repairs are not yet completed. The State Department of Natural Resources will have crews on the trail next week to re-grade and re-gravel a significant portion of the trail. Please do not utilize the trail or trailhead until official notice of their reopening has been made. Conditions at both locations are still dangerous. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. |

| Is That Allowed? Code Enforcement Question of the Week... |
|
Q- How many horses can a resident have on their property?
A- Current code places no limit on how many horses a resident may have on their property. The City of Wildwood, St. Louis County Animal Control, and the Humane Society have not established a horse to land ratio; however, there are provisions within each governing entity that are to be followed. For example, property owners within the City of Wildwood can only have horses under their ownership boarded on their property; unless otherwise authorized by the City of Wildwood through a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). In addition, St. Louis County Animal Control, along with the Humane Society, require the owner(s) or authorized agents of horses be capable of properly caring for them by providing adequate food, water, shelter and, of course, general health care. A general rule of thumb that is often used is one (1) horse per every acre of ground. |
