Vehicle Fire Necessitates Beebe Lake Shore Area Remediation

Cornell Botanic Gardens’ Natural Areas staff, in collaboration with university grounds and environmental health and safety teams, are working to remediate damage and potential contamination from a recent vehicle fire adjacent to Beebe Lake and near the Noyes Lodge. The community is asked to respect the marked boundaries of the restricted area for their own safety and to aid in cleanup efforts, which are expected to begin shortly. The trails around Beebe Lake remain open, but visitors should expect periodic closures during remediation work.
