Thanks for posting this. This is so true. I have seen acres and acres of
FOREST chopped down for solar farms in Broome County. In one instance it led
to excessive runoff into a local wildlife preserve and has toppled trees and
led to siltation of the stream below. It has ruined the upper part of this park
with dying trees. Grassland birds are in the steepest decline in our state and
taking precious grasslands away for solar farms is a travesty! Putting wind
turbines up along a major raptor and golden eagle migration pathway in eastern
Broome Co went unopposed except for the Delaware-Otsego Audubon. But our DEC,
just ignored them. We as birders should be opposing this destruction of our
habitats just like when they tried to pass fracking! Where is the same level
of opposition? I don't understand why this hasn't been met with more resistance
by birders.
