Hi All, I did not receive the last two postings, not in my back garden and
forewarned.
I am working to establish a community garden on Hydro Right of Way at the
Bishop Grandin Boulevard, which also serves as a bike corridor and
environmental habitat. In our city Hydro Right of Ways provide a lot of
recreational space and lots of gardens. So I thought this line interesting....

Hey all,
We have high tension powerlines running through the middle of our community.
Until now the power company has refused any use of the land citing insurance. I
know this is a front for there are a large number of other activities and
buildings under the powerlines in other locations in our county. We are
currently documenting these uses.
Additionally, I recently read that the EPA recommends the use of this type of
land in the US. I am working this angle as well.
Now I am seeking to find others that have community gardens located under high
tension powerlines. Please let me know what was involved in setting up your
gardens under the powerlines.
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance with this.

There are health risks involved, aren't there?

Many people are concerned about the effects of being under those things; and
you'd also have to consider the huge amount of herbicides they've probably
used over the years to keep the right of way clear....

" You must identify your supporters and capitalize on them. You also must
identify your adversaries and their specific complaints so that you can address
them."
While knowing that these vary from area to area, knowing what organizations
support and oppose community gardens in other areas, would allow others to be a
bit preemptive on their approach. Would you care to share?
