The developers finally backed off and the wetlands are officially protected. Greedy local officials could not ignore 851 of us demanding to keep our forest intact. We won this round but remain ready to fight if they ever try to touch this land again.

The momentum behind this fight is shaking the desks of the local officials who thought they could destroy our wetlands in silence. These developers and politicians are finally realizing that we are not going to let them pave over our natural heritage for a quick profit.

This area is crucial for drainage and flooding. You guys are going to regret building there when the next big storm hits.
