6. What changes,
if any, would you make to improve this landscape?
- Preserve its natural state.
- Prohibit development that would impact the aquifer.
- I drive by this site on my way to work each morning even
though it adds several minutes to my trip. I enjoy the wildlife
and farm animals. Have seen up to 30 wild turkeys feeding
in the pastures. In the summer there is an Osprey that nest
on the high voltage power lines going through this property.
they have pigs, cows, horses, chickens and a goat that I know
of.
- None. Beautiful sight welcomes wildlife. Leave as is.
