Re:
Thank you to Rob O’Flanagan for writing in the Feb. 12 edition about the ongoing destruction of the natural habitats and ecosystems at the Hanlon Creek Business Park and the broken promises of our elected officials.
I have not been on the property since the No Trespassing signs appeared, but I have memories of the beauty of the land that I saw with the tours given by the occupiers — woodlands with hemlock and black cherry trees a metre in diameter towering over us.
On either side of a Hanlon Creek tributary I saw the stumps of more than 75 cedars, some close to 100 years old that had been providing shade for a tributary that is now enclosed in a pipe. How long will it remain a cold water stream and a habitat for trout?
