SAVE the Environmental Restoration of the Lake Forest Lake and D’Olive/Tiawassee Watershed
The Issue
Let’s protect two Coastal Alabama bays while adding more wildlife conservation, family fun
We have a plan to help protect the sixth-largest estuary in the United States by restoring a Coastal Alabama lake for fishing, boating, and wildlife conservation.
To launch, we need your help persuading government grant agencies and potential private sponsors that the idea merits a thorough review.
We are not asking for money or any financial promises.
The lake restoration is rooted in the need to stop mostly unchecked silt flowing from two tributary creeks into the lake and then into Mobile Bay and its D’Olive Bay arm.
For complete details, you can securely download our 569-page conservation/restoration study, performed by a former U.S. Army Corps of Engineers senior executive.
Sign our petition if you want:
· Wildlife conservation areas;
· Public access to great fishing, including trophy bass;
· Family picnic areas;
· Environmental learning centers for children;
· Convenient kayak put-ins;
· More running and walking trails;
· Improved flood control; and
· To help save the Mobile Bay estuary.
We already have a roadmap for success: a similar lake restoration in Florida generated nearly $6 million in annual economic benefits and added more than $350,000 in annual tax proceeds.
Equally important, restoring the 62-acre lake in Daphne and installing some upstream ponds to control sediment flow from the creeks will extend the healthy life of D’Olive and Mobile bays.
Whether you are an outdoorsman, bird-watcher, runner, walker, sport fisher, educator, business owner, or conservationist, the lake restoration has something for you today…and for generations to come.
JUST A WORD about change.org. Once you sign the petition, the site will ask if you want to make a contribution. The contribution does not go to the lake restoration project. It goes to change.org.
