The reasons we feel this development is a bad idea are endless.
The Grand trees that are hundreds of years old will be lost forever along with the sounds of birds and insects that make up this wonderful place. The human impact of so many people living around the Angel Oak cannot be calculated or studied.
Our Low Country has escaped much of the urban vandalism and graffiti seen in cities throughout the world and it is our concern that the Angel Oak will inherit this type of neglect if so many homes are built near it.
We also feel that if such an important area like the AOP can fall prey to destruction and development so close to it’s boundaries, then no protected area will be safe.
There are many unfinished homes on John’s Island. Do we really need to clear out more forest?
Why do you think the Angel Oak Tree deserves to be protected? (leave your comment below)
