Doing a good thing for the environment

Editor:

Thank you for printing the letter from Ian Payne and Vicki Reynolds in the June 28 issue of the paper. It is a wonderful feeling to know that there are others living in your community with similar views and concerns. To the letter writers I say, good job and keep up the good work.

Last fall I decided to let part of my property go au naturel. I continued the practice this spring. I am now seeing, I feel, more butterflies. Sadly, bees are in short supply.

When I learned of the edict mow, mow, mow, I was shocked. Then after I picked myself up off the floor I realized that at 88 years, I had earned the right to do my own thing – a good thing.

And I realized I did not live in Russia!

Billie Power,
