Welcome. A moment-to-moment story...

Broken-hearted: broken nestling

Remember this recycled, used asphalt, toxic dump?  uphill from a stream and Spring Pond.  It has been patted down now.  Is the owner aware what their developer has done?
Just look at this cheap poison...


Google earth has a recent image of the clearing. (click map below to view).  If the clearing from the photo looks big, imagine nearly half of the front property of Camp Lion being cleared and blasted.  How many trees and nature's gems will be lost?

It is wrong the local paper wrote with complete ignorance, that this green gem is just a vacant lot...

Taking a closer look at the clearing in the rear, walking through with Leslie and Brian, on the edge of the clearing we noticed cut downed trees. Underneath one dead tree, there area few different type of hawks' feathers, near what appears to be a large bird's nest.  There were two young nestling Red-tailed Hawk feathers near to what we believe was a large nest.   I'm no expert, but the little feathers seem like the young who had them- could not fly.  Is it wrong to question if there was a hawk's nest here?  I hope if their was wildlife, it escaped before the ax came in.


We keep finding hawk feathers on the trails here.
Could there possibly be other large nests, in the area planned for destruction?  We found a few smaller nests, but it is hard to see if there are any big ones high up above the dense forest.  I hope this raises concern to investigate the area.  
I hope the owners are aware what has been done here.  

tear down paradise to put up a parking lot?
"vacant land", huh?

Apologies, but yesterday's walk was heart breaking.

  3. The camp ground has been open to the public on the weekends for years, and even during the weekdays with permission. People are usually welcomed. Hope you enjoy nature to want to take a walk.

  4. If you keep posting negative propaganda on this site no one will be able to enjoy camp lions nature trails.You will never get the people that run the camp to help in any way if you keep this up. They are good people and have done wonderful things for the youth in our community.Making them out to be evil is not going to help in anyway.

  5. I don't know what your personal interest is in all of this.

    This is the fair truth and questions. Who knows if Camp Lion even knows about this, or if the developer they hired is being honest with them.

    I am sure Camp Lion is a good place. Now lets see them end the deal and do good for the community.

  6. First of all i like walking the trails of their property and I have been doing it for may years.

    Second, I know many of the people that run the camp and they are getting fed up with the negative propaganda that has been put out by you and others. They WILL close that property to the public.

    I do not agree with what is happening with the sale of a small piece of their property but i understand that its belongs to them and they have the right to sell if they do so desire.
    They have allowed myself and all the people of OUR community to use their property any time we wanted to and I don't want to see that end.

    So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop the negative propaganda.
    thank you and god bless

  7. There is no propaganda. It is what it is.

    Tell your friends I will stop mentioning Camp Lion for 'now'. I hope the deal ends soon. They will be heros... and they can create a museum of great many things of their lot. It's a ready made arboretum, with wildlife. thanks.

  8. Did the Kennedy Development Group have anything to do with this dump?

    That would be the thing to find out.
