There are organizations trying to stop this massacre so get in touch with them. I am pretty sure humans have something to do with why there are so many barred owls there but of course, it is the owls who will pay with their lives. We have many barred owls where I live and hearing and seeing them is a delight. I know Spotted Owls need help but this is not the way to do it. Whenever there is a problem, I would say there is a 98% chance that it is because of our own species, the most dangerous and really, the only true invasive one on the planet.
Kate supported: Stop the Government from Killing 450,000 Owlsout-of-town charlatans and self-righteous profiteers descend upon Wilmington, blind to the devastation they leave in their wake. We’ve seen this before. We know how this story ends.
Our home is being consumed. Wilmington, Pender, Brunswick our forests, wetlands, and coastline sacrificed for soulless developments and corporate greed. The government, elected to protect its people, has turned its back on us. Rather than safeguarding the land and the residents who depend on it, they cater to investors and out-of-state transplants who view our communities as nothing more than their next conquest.
But this isn’t just about Wilmington. This is the systematic erosion of our way of life. Our last, irreplaceable sanctuaries critical to wildlife, flood mitigation, and the ecological balance of this region are vanishing before our eyes. And once they are gone, they are gone forever. Do we truly want a future where every remaining stretch of green is buried under concrete? Where worsening floods, environmental degradation, and overcrowding choke the very essence of the place we call home?
They do not want negotiation. They do not want reasoned discourse. They fear the inevitable backlash from locals who refuse to accept this wholesale destruction. So instead, they stifle opposition, hoping no one notices until it is too late.
We cannot let this fight remain confined to whispers of local dissent. This must be exposed on a state-wide
levelbefore everything is lost. Share this with your friends, your neighbors, your churches, your local bars. Spread the word on social media and in everyday conversation. This affects all of us, regardless of opinions on growth, housing demand, or Wilmington’s increasing congestion. There are better solutions ones that respect both progress and preservation. Our voices must be heard.
maleeke supported: Save Sledge ForestI moved here many many years ago because of the beautiful landscape and abundance of wildlife. I am so sad this could happen to this old forest. There aren’t many left in the United States.
Angela supported: Save Sledge ForestBrunswick and new Hanover counties are wildly overdeveloped. It’s one thing to build roads and housing but tearing down woodlands to build another housing development/golf course that’s mimicked all through our connecting counties is pointless. It seems silly that we keep having to have this conversation with educated adults that should understand the importance of these natural lands. All they see is dollar signs.
Casey supported: Save Sledge ForestThere has been enough thoughtless development in our area. The entire Cape Fear basin is too low in elevation to support significant infrastructure, that is required to sustain the overdeveloped areas that we already have. That is of no concern to these 'developers.' They want to make a quick buck by selling the perks of the Cape Fear region to unsuspecting transplants that learn the truth of our plight later. That is, we live in an overdeveloped, polluted, and soon to be un-insurable area.
Ty supported: Save Sledge ForestWe have “allowed” residential expansion to occur at a far greater rate than our infrastructure can support correctly. To add 4,000 new homes to an already overburdened infrastructure would be irresponsible. Aside from that, the draw of our area is the very thing that would be destroyed to make way for the new homes. Our old growth wetlands and coastal space are what draw people to our area. We are still an area that is a unique biome of the planet that deserves to continue to thrive alongside us as we grow and evolve. I strongly oppose any clear cutting of this area.
Shane supported: Save Sledge ForestAs a lifelong Wilmington NC resident I am disheartened and disappointed in my local and state government, to see so much of the forest area of my hometown destroyed for development that doesn't create jobs, affordable housing, or useful infrastructure for wilmington residents. We have to protect our forests in order to keep our city beautiful, lessen the impacts of global warming to reduce natural disaster damage and protect from flooding, and because it is our responsibility as humans and stewards of nature to do so. I strongly oppose tearing down another forest area in our city with such dwindling natural forest land already.
Cammy supported: Save Sledge ForestSkywatch Bird Sanctuary does amazing work saving injured birds and taking in those abandoned. Birds released back into the wild need natural habitats to survive. Destroying the nearby forest will destroy the natural habitat of numerous animals.
Michele supported: Save Sledge ForestWith the vast, unfettered development happening in the Wilmington area, it is absolutely crucial we maintain Sledge Forest for animals, recreation, and the Carolina ecosystems everyone loves. With nothing of our land left, what makes the area beautiful or unique?
Juliana supported: Save Sledge ForestYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
