I don't intend this to be a firebrand politicized argument, but I thought
this would be very important reading for those of us in the birding
community here and around the state who recognize the value that dedicated
open
space plays in maintaining the habitat in what remains of the Milwaukee area
flyways. I am particularly worried when I read the recommendation that
parkland be let go of here. An article from today's Journal Sentinel is
below.

As I spend a solid amount of time birding the local parkland along the
Lake Michigan shoreline, and see that a healthy and well-wooded lakefront it
is critical particularly on fallout days, I am moved to act.
I won't drag this out for the list, but if anyone would like to know what
actions are being taken to protect county parklands here, please
backchannel me and I will be happy to explain.
