Some on Council Sneak a Revised Cutting Plan Through with Little Public Input
According to ABC News 4: In a vote of 4-2, Sullivan’s Island Town council members voted to move forward with the revised maritime forest plan.
Sullivan’s Islands’ maritime forest runs from Station 16, past the new elementary school, and up to Station 28.5. Now some of that vegetation is on the chopping block.
“We know that the number one threat on this island is hurricane storm surge penetrating the inland,” says “Sullivan’s Island For All” organizer Karen Byko.
The forest is the natural barrier, says Byko.
