Today, in service to Love and Life, the Scientist and Activist in me joins forces with the Healer.
If you are in Kingston Ontario, please consider coming along...
TODAY MARCH 18th 5pm PROTEST (PEACEFULLY!) WITH ME!!
THE MILE SQUARE FOREST AND COLLINS CREEK WATERSHED NEEDS YOU NOW!
WHEN & WHERE...Wednesday March 18th, 5pm, southeast corner of Coronation and Taylor Kidd boulevards. EASY PARKING NORTH OF TK ON CORONATION
WHY...The pond, creek, surrounding wetland, and woodland are threatened by a massive clearing (getting close to 100 acres and counting) of the woodland north of the creek, being conducted as a part of a legislative loophole for farming landowners.
WHAT...We are coming together now to demand action by officials to halt the clearing so that an evaluation of this designated significant woodland can be undertaken.
HOW...Join us! Make a sign. Slogan ideas:
-Stop the Cutting, Close the Loophole
-“Normal Farm Practice” in a circle with a red line through it
-150 Years to Grow — 15 Weeks to Destroy
-My Kingston includes forest
-Habitat loss affects everyone
-This was designated Significant Woodland
-Kingston, be a leader
-RIP Forest
-Welcome to Kingston where wildlife and forests do not survive
-Because fields trump forests...or get creative!
WHO...You!!!
WHAT ELSE?...WRITE TO your district city councilor and to city planner Tim Park to demand a stop-work order until a environmental evaluation is completed.
PLEASE SHARE!!
