Clearing on 395 in the state forest

[deborsk]

Does anybody know why they have been clearing a large square of the Pt Washington State Forest just north of Publix--hope they are not selling off state land.

Wondering about that too. Also about the large area that was cleared a few months ago off 283S??

 

[klauricella]

Yes- very curious???

It is a Chelco power substation or some such facility being built on an easement.

It sure would have been nice for them to have left a buffer of trees.

Um, so why can they build it in the state forest?

...because there was an existing easement that until recently had never been cleared.

Believe me I'd rather have the trees, but I bet this easement has been around for a long long time...

Excellent question - I wanted to know this, too!

Agreed. Maybe it will get some landscaping upon completion. Just glad it isn't a Taco Bell.

I just love it when they raze nature in order to properly landscape. Lets get some of those Bloom Boxes and be done with it!

I don't think utility companies do any landscaping. Unless you count stumps, logs, signs, posts, pipes, flags, poles, fluorescent tape, transformers . . .
