From: "Doc Elder"

How do you get the local authorities enthusiastic enough to protecting what
they have without inspiring them enough to f*** it up? I just don't know.
But a lot of folks here have been through a lot of situations.....maybe none
of them exactly like this, but maybe close enough that one of them can tell
us how to work the Parks and Recreational Department here in a way that
will help us preserve the Duck Pond.

I would start with your local conservation commission rather than Parks and
Recreation. If you can convince the CC that the work needs to be done with no
further "improvements", get them to issue an order of conditions, then you can
approach P&R to implement tne work.

Good luck!
