[mou] Park Point--from the MOU Conservation Committee

[Larry Sirvio]

Doesn't this sound like something the Non-Game Wildlife fund could help with?  Can you mention this to Carrol Henderson?

  To also add to this subject, yesterday while birding at Park Pt. I noticed that officials have already put red tape on many large spruce trees, birch trees, red maples and several other trees in the propose areas to be sold to developers.  The area is basically all the land from entrance to park point all the way to at least 200 feet away from the playground area.  This as many birders in Duluth know is prime area for viewing migrating birds.  Also the area describe has survey stakes erected and looks like its been surveyed and marked for potential buyers.  I was shocked on how many trees will be removed unless the red tape means these trees are to be saved but I doubt it.

  Many of you are aware that the Duluth City Council has proposed selling Park Point land to raise money for the City.  Park Point is a significantly important area for birds.  More information about this issue can be found in the article at this link--

  The Park Point land needs to stay in public ownership and not be developed.  This is an important conservation issue for birds.  Comments to the mayor or letters to the Duluth News Tribune would be helpful at this time.  The Duluth mayor’s e-mail address is dness at duluthmn.gov
