[RP TownTalk] Wildlife-friendly community

[Euniverz at aol.com]

I moved here for the greenspace.  I moved here specifically because I  am one 
block from a park.  A terrific park with a river tributary and  the wildlife 
that attracts, and the ability to walk with my canine walking  buddies for 
miles surrounded by greenery.  We live in a place that is  both close to city and 
far enough away to enjoy and appreciate the natural  beauty of the area.
 
Where we live is hardly a city. And cities like the one I came from (NYC)  
are now trying to find ways to carve greenspace back IN to the landscape.   Do 
you have any idea the value of property that is adjacent to Central  Park?   We 
are very lucky to have such a good mix of open space and  development.  
Something people look for when searching for a place to live. 
 
I want wildlife and I'm stayin'!

Reality check, folks: we live in a  CITY.  Inside the Beltway.  It is 
wonderful that this particular  city (and greater metro area) gives high 
priority to maintaining some  green space.  But it is a city 
nonetheless.  The more wildlife  in a very human-congested area like 
this, the more roadkill there will  be.  Sorry if that's brutal, but ... 
y'know.  You want wildlife,  move out to the country.
