Do you have any specific programs in mind that would serve to make the public more aware of the wild life habitats in this area. The Parks and Rec Committee is always open to new ideas.

If the City Council, Parks and Recreation or anyone else would like me to explain it further, please let me know and I will attend any meeting or workshop as schedules permit. In summary, the great blue herons on Peltier Island had a FANTASTIC 2011 summer! Thanks go to the city of Centerville and others for their support of the great blue herons and the sensitive environment. Protections and support of the herons need to continue to try to reach previous numbers. The number of great blue heron nests more than doubled from 2010 to 2011. I want to emphasize that the north part of Peltier Lake is very sensitive and requires law enforced protections. Not only the Great Blue Herons, but the aquatic plants and other wildlife there need protection. It took four long hard years of gut wrenching work to enact adequate protection and that guard must never be reduced or environmental damage could be the consequence. The city of Centerville was a key part of enacting that protection and this is an acknowledgement of that and another thanks again! Sincerely, Wayne LeBlanc 4/6/2012 12
