wildlife habitat destruction, Laguna Beach California, September 22nd 2009

Showing tall trees being felled adjacent a year round creek. In this area there are few trees and this is a tall grove in a wild area full of birds of prey. Go to http//:www.ShinHill.com to see location. There is no reason for this destruction as there is no developement at this spot nor reason as it is part of a flood plain.
There are three endangered species here. Who do you talk to who do you notify? The fish and game dept gave me the run around!

Check this map for a map of the area that links the species:

They were the only tall trees not near homes and the hawks and kites used them all the time, there was also one big nest that I could see. This area is not being developed. It is outside the road zone. Was it they could not continue the road with large birds of prey nesting near by the reason they cut down this grove? Then they could get the ok because they were no longer disturbing endangered animals?

these are non- native trees, and are not a natural part of the ecosystem. Just saying.
