Welp. The #zoning committee voted 4-2 last night to approve the death of #PineLogWMA despite a petition, letters, overflow crowds, and testimony against it.

#Money gets what money wants.

How much *more* money does one wealthy family need?? The amount of greed here is staggering.

We act as if we have forever as if there's always more forests out there somewhere but there aren't and we don't have forever

#PineLogWMA

the 4,000 acre Little River WMA in #CherokeeCounty was developed into #TowneLake during the 1990s in a similar situation to the one at #PineLogWMA right now, and this resulted in the eventual disappearance of two state-listed plant species, one of which was the last known population of the species in the state and only the third remaining known population in the world (Solidago porteri). Both of these species were only discovered after the development phase
