Lost woodlands

To the editor:

The destruction of native woodlands goes on. To take a walk around Mary’s Lake was so peaceful; now that is gone forever. To destroy a native forest to build cheap overpriced housing is, in my opinion, criminal.

I wonder how many pieces of silver crossed palms to allow this destruction? What is next? Lakeside housing at Mary’s Lake. Drain the lake so some contractor can make money?

Our planning people should be ashamed.
