Multiple bags of household waste, clothing, plastic containers, and miscellaneous refuse are scattered across an overgrown wooded area near Military Trail close to the river. The dumping includes colored plastic bags, white containers, fabric, and other household debris spread across dried vegetation and fallen branches in what appears to be a sensitive ecological habitat. This illegal disposal of residential waste in a protected natural area poses environmental contamination risk to the nearby river ecosystem.
