Dear Editor:
Letter writer Richard Kuehnel makes a well-founded point in his June 7 letter, Save Wild Edibles; 'Adopt a Patch,'.
Halfway down our street in the late '80s, I discovered a small black raspberry patch. I was thrilled to make such a discovery here in the "urban wilderness." I thoroughly enjoyed picking a small bowlful on weekend mornings to augment my morning cereal. Unfortunately, someone, either a neighbour or district staff, cut the bushes down and eradicated them a year or so after that. They have never returned, and as Kuehnel points out, we are all much poorer for the loss.
