Homeowner on Walker Ave for the last 4.5 years. That fence is about safety. Not pictured is the playground next to the stream with a steep slope. Tons of kids at TT South outside. The water is incredibly deep after it rains and the fence prevents accidental drowning. There are plenty of other access points for the TT South community.
Good write-up about Tapestry with an awkward Trestletree political piece tacked on the end. I guess that I see it differently after talking with the Trestletree kids on multiple occasions. I imagine the fence (Monroe/COA Watershed property line?) is most likely there for safety and liability purposes for Monroe. The Trestletree South playground is very close to the open water and beaver lodge. Even so, there are openings further down the fence either way. The TT kids explore, see, and know more about the Tapestry wildlife than the majority of us.
Unfortunately, some Trestletree South tenants have dumped trash over the fence and into the stream for years. Periodically, Tapestry volunteers clean up on both sides of the stream when possible. Truth be told, the only cleanup support that Tapestry ever saw from Trestletree was from Shane Johnson and the maintenance staff.
I would encourage you to join us during our future Tapestry cleanup days to see firsthand what it takes to maintain this beautiful urban wildlife habitat. Bring Miracle with you too. We'd love the help and support!
I pick up trash whenever I'm over there. Didn't know there was a coordinated effort. I'll join in if I can, otherwise I'll just continue being a vigilante cleaner.

What a nice surprise, going from nature to justice. Well played. Thanks for the diversion.
Thanks. Feel free to read it again any time you feel blue. Also, sorry Substack bombed your in-box. I alerted them to the problem.
