When I opened the George Herald Page 10 today I was shocked to hear about a proposed Crocodile Farm housing development,
in other words it means destroying some of the habit for the below listed birds ie
Greater Heron, Cattle Egret, Sacred Ibis etc etc
When looking at images below supplied by the Friends of the Heronry I felt shocked that this development can even be proposed.
I believe not mentioned is a George Municipality Tourist Center proposal that will keep most of the land and not be used for housing development.
This Tourist Center proposal will be a big drawcard to George especially for bird watchers, tourists, scholars, oldies - no need to drive far to view the "traffic jam" in the morning and evening as 1000 of birds fly in to roost for the night or fly out to look for food. Its awe inspiring to see so many birds so close to town.
Please email Stiaan Carstens Deputy Senior Manager at the
George Municipality: Planning Department 4th Floor to say that
you object to the Crocodile Farm Housing Development and propose
the Tourist Center proposal
Email: stiaan@george.org.za
Fax: 0860 570 1022
Please do not use strong language and support the Tourism Center idea
Hopefully the flood of emails in support for the Tourist Center will change their minds,
goto the Planning Dept and ask to view the Tourist Center proposal.
Due to George Herald newspaper not believing on setting up a website
here is scanned copy of the article
More Photos to be viewed here
Cattle Egret
No space left
