Clear cutting has started on a parcel of land in Dartmouth that a group of residents has been trying to protect. Bill Zebedee is the President of a group called Save Our Southdale Wetland Society. They are also the same people involved in the Protect Eisner Cove Wetland. And Zebedee says he's started the process to appeal the permission granted to allow for wetland to be infilled as the housing development continues. He says the Housing Task Force the Progressive Conservative government has established is pushing ahead projects without listening to the concerns of residents and other concerned community members. And he says they are going to keep on fighting to be heard. A group of them were protesting at the Mount Hope Avenue entrance to the proposed development on Tuesday as they look to protect trees, nesting sites and endangered or at risk species.
