Hi all,
The following message was posted on the E.A. Mearns Bird Club's yahoo
group site earlier today by Lynn Barber, President of Orange Audubon. Thought
it would be of interest to others.
Good morning. I live on Hoagerburgh Road in Wallkill which is such a scenic
road looking over at the Ridge with beautiful views all along the way. We
residents have been fighting the installation of a 120’ cell tower that
will be on Old Hoagerburgh Road, across from the Shawangunk Grasslands. This
monstrosity will be seen from miles away and certainly not affect just
Hoagerburgh residents but all those who treasure the views that we are so
fortunate to have as well as being located in the wrong place for all the birds
the grasslands was established for . It is an established fact that cell towers
also affect migratory birds killing millions every year.
A decision is to be made within a few weeks. Please – if you can write a
letter as soon as possible
The address is:
Town of Shawangunk Planning Board
14 Central Avenue, POBox 247
Wallkill, NY 12589
Thank you very much,
Joan McAdam
