TIMES RECORD • June 24, 2022
We are seeing the immediate destruction of habitat on the former Navy base, where many large swaths of older trees have been/are being destroyed to create office buildings and new housing. As this continues, we in Brunswick are doing our part to raise the temperature of the atmosphere. New Jerseyfication is starting to happen here. Developers are noting the increasing demand for new homes to cash in, but anytime we cut the forests locally we contribute to the sprawl that is choking the planet. We entreat you to hit the pause button, think globally, do our small part in the big picture and find more creative ways to solve our problems. ~ Esther Mechler, Brunswick
