Is this what we want destroying the farm lands and
wetlands in our own backyards? This is a photo of a
500 kv power line like the one planned for our area.
They will cut down our trees, drastically affecting the
forestry industry, and in their place they will build these
huge lines that are much taller than the trees were. Our
viewshed will be permanently destroyed. The renewable
timber they cut down to make way for these power lines
we will never get back. This is a permanent destruction of
our land, and its effects will last forever.
These are just a small few of the dozens and dozens of rare,
endangered and protected species that make their homes in
Dorchester County, Maryland. These plants and animals are
at extreme risk for being lost forever and will be affected
significantly by the loss of habitat that will come with these
power lines. It is up to us to fight to protect them. For a
