Temporary trail closure in Pond Apple Park
The city of Sanibel reported that the Pond Apple Park Trail from Bailey Road to the retention pond is temporarily closed as of today, March 18.
A fallen tree blocking the path was found to contain a large active bee nest, creating a safety hazard for users of the trail.
The closed section will remain inaccessible until a specialist can safely remove the bees and crews can clear the fallen tree debris.
There is no estimated reopening date at this time; the removal is being scheduled as quickly as possible.
Residents and visitors are asked to:
– Avoid the closed section of the trail.
– Do not attempt to approach or disturb the bee nest.
– Use alternate routes and/or other park facilities and trails.
