An Ambitious Project

More searchlights

This blog would like to put forward a suggestion for an ambitious project which would enhance the reputation of the city, the PDNPA and anyone else who has the vision and organisational drive to achieve it.

Blacka Moor, Big Moor Burbage and Houndkirk and all other adjoining areas should be united in one large area, all fences removed all farm live stock and the whole allowed to rewild in whatever way nature takes it. Deer and other wild herbivores should be encouraged. Some will see only snags and problems. What about the roads, for instance with wild animals moving freely? An excellent reason for introducing and rigidly enforcing a 40 mph speed limit- good for road safety and good for carbon emissions. And what an example to the rest of the world!

One thing I liked when we lived in Cook County IL is the Cook County Forest Preserve. I don't agree with everything they have done, however I do like the fact that their is all that green space. I think the green spaces are all connected, surrounding Chicago. I've heard that one can walk from on end of Cook County to the other, going completely around the city of Chicago and never leave the green space.
