This hypothetical scenario, there is an area of land proposed for development near the Niagara River. A company is planning to build its storage facilities on forested and wetland ecosystems. Building these facilities would require thousands of trees to be cut down, miles of road to be built, and the area near the river that had resisted development for many years would dramatically change. Take into consideration the fact that the forest, wetland, and the river provide valuable habitat for fish and wildlife.

Specifically, this habitat is home to threatened, endangered, or rare species like the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), Sky Blue Aster (Symphyotrichum oolentangiense), and the Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes ervthrocephalus). Write a letter to the local planning board, which is an elected or appointed group that makes decisions about the growth and development in a community or municipality, as a concerned community member. Could this development co-exist with the environmental concerns?
