Disagree. It's never too late to start doing the right thing in matters of mother nature.

In this case, it's taking care of the riparian environment near the mouth of a river. It doesn't always have to be about human interests.

I looked at the pictures of Platt Beach, and I think the NPS chose correctly.

> but it’s a little late for that

Myopically selfish comment. One can absolutely let nature rebound. This one-way fatalism is shield for continuing to make bad decisions.

I'm not stating what should be the case, merely talking what is the case as described in the article. The park authorities want to make life easier for non-boating park visitors, and that means making life harder for park visitors with boats.

The fact that most people visiting the park prefer a more natural, wilder-seeming environment is great. But accommodating them is not the same as a proper "rewilding" approach - which would presumably mean removing access roads and trails, allowing seasonal flooding, avoiding intervention for dangerous-to-human wildlife, etc.
