I first became aware of this issue through a colleague
of mine who lives in the Bell's Bend area. The
Nashville Chapter of TOS will be lending our support
to blocking this development in the Bell's Bend area,
and hopefully, developing a conservation plan to
prevent further issues from arising. Further
information is available at the metro planning
department website http://www.nashville.gov/mpc/. The
next community meeting is on Tuesday Feb 19th at the
Scottsboro Community Club, 5201 Old Hydes Ferry Pike.
I encourage Nashville area TOS members and birders to
attend. As Richard mentioned, you can also help by
contacting your council person, the mayor's office,
and the planning department.
