Cabin owners report tree cutting at park

Several cabin owners say they are seeing live trees being illegally cut down at Beaver Creek Park.

Blanche Kellam, who finalized her purchase of a cabin during the Hill County Park Board Monday, said she is seeing trees near her cabin cut down, generally cut into about 5-foot sections and left lying on the ground.

"Maybe you need to bring this to the sheriff's attention, " she suggested, adding later that the trees being cut down are live trees.

After a board member jokingly suggested it could be beavers, Kellam said it is not.

"It's not a beaver, it's a chainsaw, " she said.
