That's just the way it seems to go sometimes, I'm so sorry to hear of your own experience. Do you have many freshwater habitats around the waterfowl could migrate to? Hopefully some of them are still around you now.
...I must say, you have a beautiful flourish to your writing - I love the colors, shapes and other life I see in this lovely (turned to trash) garden. When I was young, we played in the forest (still there & owned by my pop), it was alive with such sublime beauty. The creek that ran through it provided much for the wild life. The smell of decaying leaves after the ice melted, the freshness of the black dirt, squirrels, chipmunks, opossums, raccoons, deer lurking about. Snails growing on the old wood, slugs, other bugs, and mushrooms under cover of the expansive canopy of elm, oak, poplar, birch and other variation of towering trees. Moths with massive wing spans and spectacular designs on their wings - Utter amazement for a youngster to grow and thrive in.
Thank you for the comment, my heart swelled. It means a lot that you could feel connected to your natural past through what I wrote as that is one of my big wishes for my work, so thank you
Such a dreadful state of things. I despair.. as time goes on, all I see is ever more evidence to reinforce the notion that as a species, humans are most likely a hopeless case.
It's one of those issues that revolves around our detritus, both mental and physical. There is just too much of it for us to be able to deal with anything meaningfully.
On the part of the councils I would say bureaucratic fuckery and a complete lack of the pressure of a national spotlight until it was too late to make the right people push the right levers.
The police allowed it to happen to perform surveillance.
The Environment Agency has been hit by funding cut after funding cut, and the Conservative party that birthed Damian Green (recently ousted for the not much better Labour Party) showed great disdain for issues like these over their 14 years of government.
A cocktail of authoritative bullshit, the likes of which I wish I'd not seen the equal of, but its the tip of an iceberg.
People with out knowledge or concern, allow this to happen. People!
Open your heart. Do not look to those negative of thought. And, by all means, DO NOT sublet to those who have nothing, save negativity, hate or discontent for the world in which they are living!!!
As someone who understands everything as a balance of two extremes, negativity has a productive capability when harnessed properly. There's a time and a place for everything!
This story resonates deeply with me. I've also been in a similar situation in the past where I lost a place close to my heart. There was a pond in our neighbourhood for decades that was recently destroyed to make way for a new apartment building. People in the area started a petition to protest, but it was too little, too late. I saw the homes of hundreds of waterfowl and trees, and native plants get destroyed, and there was nothing I could do about it. Thanks for sharing

Our voices give energy to opposition, its one of the most powerful tools we have.
AHO! That and our L O V E for our plain, as well as those who connect with it.

This is such a tragic story, how is this kind of thing allowed to happen?

Thank you - I shall be live and well, on the bright side of the world.
