Hi Jen,
You might check on local ordinances, building codes, etc... MDC is too
far removed jurisdictionally from most municipalities to do much. I'm
not sure about the area to which you refer, but I know in Columbia,
there is a tree ordinance that requires certain trees be left alone,
trees that can be removed must be replaced by new trees planted in
nearby areas. Check to see if the municipality is a "Tree City USA".
If it is, there must be certain guidelines passed as ordinance
protecting trees. See if the jurisdiction has an urban forester or has
a land development plan. Most of these kinds of thing must go before
the local Planning and Zoning Commission, this is a good time for
concerned citizens to speak.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a real hard core greenie, but I do think
that nice big trees should be left or replaced. I've seen too many
subdivisions start with every tree bulldozed and burned.

I am back from TX. Sounds like I missed some good cache hunts. Dan, I
tried to email you about Watchtower, but everytime I tried to send mail
either through my email or gc, something crashed. Oh well. Anyway, you
have probably already seen it is there.
Roger, I heard you talked to my friend Danl in Wichita :). Hope you
enjoy the music!
Anyway, I have a question for conservation types. The land next to our
subdivision has a nice little woods area that is home to owls, hawks,
coyotes, etc. This land has apparently been purchased and these trees
will be wiped out. We are wondering there is anyway to get the
conservation dept, etc to help us save this habitat? Does anyone know
who I could contact or if there is any hope?
Jen
