In 2010, I participated in the Walk for a Nuclear-Free Future that started in Salamanca and ended in New York City. I did about half of the walk. During the walk, we visited the Tonawanda territory. I am very grateful for having had that experience. I remember beautiful wetlands. It’s the DEC’s responsibility to protect the wetlands, as they are fragile. This land needs to remain intact, maybe without a conservation easement?
Alice supported: Prevent STAMP from Destroying Vital Wetlands in Iroquois NWR - NO DATA CENTERS!!These wetlands are such a vital part of our local ecosystem. They provide natural hunting grounds, hiking trails, wildlife refuges, and more. This area deserves to thrive, to preserve what we have left of a resource that is shrinking. The destruction of these lands would have a deep, lasting negative impact on our environment.
Caitlin supported: Prevent STAMP from Destroying Vital Wetlands in Iroquois NWR - NO DATA CENTERS!!The Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge is a beautiful place and it borders the Tonawanda National Wildlife Refuge and more importantly it borders the Tonawanda Band of Seneca Nation and threatens their well water that they use to drink. There have not been proper procedures done as far as how this STAMP Project just appeared. There is not a lot of concrete evidence to show hydrogen can be used green energy. Anyone who has ever seen these two huge white egg/ball structures has to wonder how safe is it. Yes, the wetlands are vital to the local ecosystem and threatens one of the Great Lakes-Lake Ontario. This area is such an area of bird and water fowl migration and bald eagles live there.
Florence supported: Prevent STAMP from Destroying Vital Wetlands in Iroquois NWR - NO DATA CENTERS!!As a resident of northern Hammond where the Mayor has insisted on installing new homes where we could have had green space, I'm in full support of keeping the Briar East Woods as natural area. There is no logical explanation for pushing the plan the mayor supports since it costs more money and does not solve the real problems. We continually see evidence that the mayor pushes through personal agendas instead of serving the populace and it needs to stop here. Hammond residents deserve a voice to shape the future of their city and retain natural areas that are vital to community health.
Gayle supported: Save The Briar East Dune WoodlandsNature is a powerful resource that makes human lives better. The cooling effect of greenery, flood control, removing carbon dioxide, making oxygen. In addition the flora and fauna that captivates our minds.
The age of these pristine dunes is enough reason to let them stand💚 They are one of the greatest wonders of Lake County.
We were made to be the caretakers of this earth…not the destroyers.
Jean supported: Save The Briar East Dune WoodlandsHaving grown up in woodlands in Crete, IL, I can attest to the power that nature has on providing respite from a busy, industrialized world and a peace that many are seeking but are struggling to find in today's chaos. Natural spots like Briar East Due Woodlands are grounding, peaceful, nurturing, and beneficial for so many reasons (many have already been stated). It has become so difficult to find natural refuges in our overdeveloped area. It seems everywhere I look the remaining few natural areas are being gobbled up for further development and ultimately for profit, but those that push the profit or development or "progress" agendas rarely seem to consider the greater cost that cannot be quantified financially. We have a responsibility to care for and steward the natural world around us. Our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren deserve to have areas like Briar East Dune Woodlands that connect them to the past as well as providing a hope for their future. Kids need access to safe havens like Briar East Dune Woodlands today and in the future.
Nicky supported: Save The Briar East Dune WoodlandsRemant natural areas like the Briar East Dune Woodlands offer unparalleled flood control and evapotranspirative cooling services due to their incredibly rich, absorbent soils, which soak up water like a sponge. Not to mention that they offer critical habitat for many of our most imperilled wildlife species that can often be found nowhere else. In a period that has seen the mass destruction of the living world for the fleeting convenience of the human species, these areas represent our planet's last strongholds of biodiversity and ecological function. It is in the best interest of every organism alive that we protect our remnants while we still have them left. These lands are our natural heritage, our oldest friends.
Joshua supported: Save The Briar East Dune WoodlandsWe have enough housing and transportation, what we don't have enough of is forest and natural spaces. These changes are permanent and cannot be undone, erasing natural spaces for future generations.
Kyle supported: Save The Briar East Dune Woodlandsfinding this movement, and photos of this area brought back a WAVE of memories; an old babysitter had taken my brother and i here when we were very young. as i grew up, i still had that memory, but i could never find this place, and knowing how industrial hammond is, i had assumed it mustve been a dream or my crazy imagination for a long time. but this little slice of nature is REAL and so important. i wish i still liver closer so i could be more involved, but i’ll keep sharing, and i’ll keep making calls, and i’ll keep hoping and praying 🤍 i lived in hammond from birth to the age of 17- we NEED places like this, they need to be saved, and people need to know that they’re there!
Aleks supported: Save The Briar East Dune WoodlandsNatural space that is public and accessible for all is so, so important for our wellbeing and that of wildlife, as well as what makes the midwest so special.
