A clear-cut case of conservation?

Even before the sun eases up past the horizon, the Lakeshore Path is dotted with runners and bikers hoping to get the path to themselves before itâ??s filled with families and leisurely walkers, looking for the first glinting red leaves of autumn. A few people walk briskly in the crisp air, swinging briefcases and backpacks, on their way to work at the Capitol or to campus for school. Golden light sifts its way through the trees near the Lakeshore dorms, revealing a large pair of bulldozers near a huge pile of brush.
