6. What changes,
if any, would you make to improve this landscape?
- Nothing. It is perfect.
- Leave it alone
- Change nothing.
- Preserve it.
- I would not change this site. I enjoy going by working farms
and seeing the farm animals, etc. I would bring my grandchild
to see the horses.
- I have hunted here, with permission. I know of permission
having been granted to at least one other hunter who still
actively hunts here.
- Since I am interested in preserving wildlife diversity,
I would convert the site to a native grassland to bring in
grassland birds and butterflies
