Metallica's Hetffield Fences Off Land Neighbors Use For Recreation
NBC11.com is reporting:
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A metal fence has struck an out-of-tune chord with some neighbors on a Terra Linda hillside in Marin County.
James Hetfield of the rock band Metallica recently had the fence built on a piece of property he owns.
His contractor said his land was getting vandalized, NBC11 reported.
The problem is that the new fence is blocking a fire road long used by hikers, bicyclists and equestrians to access the open space.
People who use the area for hiking, biking and horseback riding said that fencing off the area is an insult to the community.
Officials with the Marin County Open Space District are working with Hetfield to try and reach an agreement, NBC11 reported.
Hetfield has been generous in the past, donating a 438-acre piece of land to the open space district, according to NBC11.
