Have an appointment with a city official to walk through the area on Monday. đ But I know biologists have spoken with them about this place in the past and have basically been told you can try but can’t stop the mowers.

Just curious, is this a roadside? Whatâs the mowing frequency?

Can you mix some large rocks in?

Wildlife NIMBYs, I could go on a long tirade ranting about these yuppies but I think all of us are already on the same page

I guess they could mow like a couple times a year to prevent shrubbery but that sucks. Might be good to have a compromise as well! This is D:

I would dig these plants and plant them in your yard if they are rare. If the city doesn’t understand “wetland,” it’s because the creep writing to you is not a person that was involved in that project. And yes, we can stop mowers. There are many many ways to make something unsafe to mow. If they are going to play dirty, then so can we.

Good for you! This all starts with conversation. I am still talking to my hoa about the area around the pond. People absorb knowledge slowly. And it helps when they can hear the same thing from different people. Thank you for fighting for this area.

Hey neighbor! Itâs frustrating out here. We have such amazing natural beauty and people just do not give a fuck. I donât get it.Â
Do you think you might have more emotional connection to win people over if you said âbeautiful native spider lilyâ and posted pictures of what could be? I know that I have almost no luck if I talk about wildlife because people are so weird about living in nature, but if they knew how pretty these plants are, they might rethink. I am not sure it will work, but just throwing it out there as a suggestion for the discussion.

I don’t know about AL but here in WI if you’re fucking around in a wetland you’re gonna find out. I would call DNR or whatever is the equivalent there.

Sounds like the neighbors are part of the problem. They complained, so it got mowed. People are too obsessed with perfection and refuse to learn.

People didn’t intentionally plant these native species, and if humans didn’t intentionally plan for it to happen, it’s worthless and its existence doesn’t matter. Of course it may as well die as it wasn’t the will of the Main Character Species. How silly of us to think otherwise.

Mowers don’t like metal cables.

Is there an environmental law office around? Maybe they could help?
