Wetland in danger in Dartmouth

Since January, a group of Dartmouth residents have been amping up efforts to bring attention to an area of wetland near a proposed housing development. Bill Zebedee says the Protect Eisner Cove Wetland Society is reacting to a private sale of the 15 hectares of forested wetland earlier this year. The developer has proposed a walking trail through the wetland, but the group says that's not the best thing for the habitat or the animals and plants that live they. He says their goal is to have The Eisner Cove Wetland and its protective forest belt returned to public ownership, and preserved as a wild area for recreational and educational use only. They've set up a website and have launched a petition to try and make that happen.
