Come Stroll With Me...
These photographs were taken by Mason Malpass in June 2001. They are all
taken at the site of the proposed landfill. Some are directly on
the "footprint" of the landfill and others on land immediately
surrounding it, which will be the "borrow pit" area, and equally
affected.

When one considers that this has
been an unnaturally dry year, this peaceful pond gives room for thought... |
Located on the
"footprint", the presence of cypress gives a clue that the land
is wet enough to sustain this wetland tree. |

 |
And look here, another nice
swamp plant. The pitcher plant grows in abundance on the
"footprint". |
Found a whole mess of venus fly
traps on the land adjoining the "footprint". These
plants in the photographs will have their habitat destroyed as surely as
if they were in the footprint. |
