I live on Leah Hill and I am extremely concerned about the rapid development of housing projects and the disappearance of green spaces. As our world is quickly being overcome by global warming, it is of the utmost importance that everything should be done to maintain as much green space and natural environment as possible. Not only is global warming a consideration regarding the outcome for these tracts, but also the natural wildlife that inhabit this area. Pror to the development Bridges,there was a large colony of red winged blackbirds living in the wetlands.There were blue birds, and ducks. Now they are all gone. Their habitat was destroyed for monetary gain. In this time of exponential global warming and species extinction it is our duty as responsible humans to preserve nature. Even though this is only a small step to benefit the environment, small steps add up.Just like the small steps that have destroyed much of the natural environment. It is hard to weigh Kent's decision to give the mayor and council members substantial raises, against the fact that the city will not designate funds to maintain a small parcel of wild land. Kent's prior decision to sell what was at one time a designated watershed to a developer was inexcusable. Selling off more of this land to a developer is just plain unconscionable. According to the Kent Journal the developer plans to build townhomes on this land.This does not sound like maintaining a buffer zone to me. If Kent and Auburn do not want to maintain this land then sell or donate the land to a conservancy such as the Nature Conservancy. We must preserve what nature we can before it is all gone. And, It is going very,very fast. When it's gone it will never recover. Every bit of nature saved is a step towards saving this planet and it's wildlife. And the sooner everyone opens their eyes to this fact the better. Money is worthless when weighed against saving nature. Do something positive for nature while there is still time. Finally, Shame on Kent and Auburn for being so penny pinching and shortsighted.
