NU DEP

[RChyinski at aol.com]

In the past I have been critical of the way NU and the DEP protected or  fail 
to protect critical habitat that contained endangered species. Now it is  
time to send some praise their way. 
Sat. I walked a transmission line ROW where line work was scheduled. The  
access roads had been mowed, not bulldozed, signs, with photos, were placed  
through out the ROW designating Box Turtle habitat. Signs and temporary fencing  
were placed to protect areas containing endangered plant species.
 
Some real positive steps taken by NU and the DEP.
 
To all butterflyers, birders, botanist etc. and anyone concerned about  these 
critical habitats, NU has hired Associate Scientists whose job it is to  see 
that the critical habitat and endangered species within transmission line  ROW 
 are minimally affected by work within the ROW. Get to know these  people, 
are very aware of the past problems. They and NU are willing to work  with us to 
help protect this habitat.
