Confounds common sense

To the editor:

Thank you Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and Cleveland Township for opposing Segment 9’s environmentally destructive and outrageously expensive trail.

It confounds common sense there is plan to fragment a globally rare wetland, remove 7,300 trees and decimate massive glacial dunes. We know this type of alteration and environmental devastation invites ecosystem stress and invasive species risk. What about the trees stretching beyond Segment 9’s excavation limits, what happens to the health of this interconnected tree/animal/insect/microbe community during and after Segment 9’s destruction?
