The Oneida County town of New Hartford’s board recently voted to bar hunting and trapping activities at its public parks in reaction to a February incident in which five beaver carcasses were found along the Philips A. Rayhill Memorial Recreational Trail, which is adjacent to a large mitigation pond. “We are not against gun owners or hunters or trappers,” town supervisor Paul Miscione said. “We just can’t have it in our parks and playgrounds.”
