Apparently, there are still a couple of real estate developers who didn’t get the memo that sprawl is no longer profitable. Now, these miserable douche bags want to clear-cut the area up right up against the Appalachian Trail and the White Rocks Trail (a blue blaze).
Map of the proposed development
The Cumberland Valley Appalachian Trail Club is on the case. Hopefully, they will be able to convince the township elders that clear-cutting the woods is not really consistent with conservation. (Yeah, the land in question is zoned conservation.)
The Susquehanna Appalachian Trail Club has a page with some more info, too.
The CVATC has put together a real nice PDF file with all the pertinent info.
When the revolution comes, these real estate assholes will be first against the wall…
