Turtle vs. developers...turtle wins

[Catherine]

Developers proposed building a 58 unit housing development with a marina, fitness facility, club house, swimming pool and other things on Stoney Lake. The area is an important wetland habitat for the Blanding's Turtle. Development in the area would put the species at risk. The proposed development would impact a number of other species that are at risk and put the water supply for the area in jeopardy. There would be significant pollution issues from the amount of sewage the development would produce. 

Local people and various concerned groups fought the developers and won. The turtle habit will be spared!

This is a beautiful victory. An important natural habitat was at risk of being destroyed by developers  and the natural habitat won. The area will not be destroyed. I will live on as it has for many years. Species that count on this area will live on and survive.
We can fight habitat destruction and win.
