re: Tchefuntce River

On another note:
"Over here we want to have a boardwalk with interpretive areas. And over there will be another observation area.”

What the hell do they need a boardwalk for, and wtf is an interpretive area? Observation area?



But it’s also the first part of the foundation’s effort to create a shoreline park and nature area on about 150 acres of pristine marshland bounded by the river to the west and the lake to the south

Then, “We want to have the smallest footprint possible,” said Charlie Thomason

150ac is considered a small footprint nowadays? I mean damn, these jerk offs dont think it would be easier to just fix the 1/2ac spot from before and add a break-wall in front of it? Seems like some hippie mumbo jumbo is what is stopping them from proceeding



“There’s so much we can do here. This place is so beautiful,’’ Thomason said. “Look, these are wildlife trails. And there are live oaks out here. Live oaks! Getting to it means removing the invasive tallow trees and some yaupon bushes, as well as patches of St. Augustine and centipede grasses and a “lot of briar,” Thomason said. A “flash burn” will knock down much of the vegetation, he said, and rakes and hoes will be used to take out the brush by hand.“We’ll add some roseau cane and incorporate species that are native to the wetlands and will have value for wildlife like deer, humming birds, turtles,” Thomason said.

Sounds like he really knows what he is talking about here Welcome to tallow tree city



On another note, he said that funding was what was holding them back. $20,000 worth is pretty easy to come up with. I mean damn, they could do an Abita Beer fundraiser and make some from selling beers. Mr. Blossman, where are you on that? I am all for fixing up the beach, it just doesnt have to be such a drawn-out process. All of this other BS is what is slowing them down. Dredge sand from main channel, dump it out on former beach, get some rocks and put them in front of the beach. I dont want little field trip kids coming out there when I am trying to funnel beers and pee in the water.
