Comment
- Many small municipalities do not have the capability and expertise to administer the implications and results of a Wetland Evaluation.
- Communities have realized the value of green spaces as a result of the COVID pandemic. We have learned green spaces, whether wetland or not, support mental and physical health. Especially in the vicinity of urban areas, more protected green space is needed, not less.
- Corridors and habitat for wildlife and other living creatures must be maintained. Evaluation of wetlands on an individual basis without considering connecting features and functions disregards ecological importance of these connections, such as wetland complexes.
- Can development not be encouraged upward rather than outward on precious wetland or agricultural land?
