Dear neighbors,
Weber County property slated for an inland port is shown on Aug. 17, 2023.We must stand in the way of the Weber County Inland Port which would pave nearly 9,000 acres of wetlands and wildlife habitat adjacent to Great Salt Lake. The life of the lake is inseparable from our own and includes the vitality of wetlands. We cannot thrive or survive here without honoring our interdependence. It’s time to defend all the lives at stake, human and beyond.
My team counted a total of 1,679 shorebirds: 844 American avocets; 260 black-necked stilts; 36 greater and lesser yellowlegs; 27 killdeer; 14 long-billed curlews; 125 dowitchers; 317 marbled godwits; 55 willets; 1 peep. If we don’t respond with urgency, this Eden will soon be obliterated and millions of birds will be exiled. We’ll forfeit the last of our breathable air. Breathing is an inherent right and so is beauty. We must not allow our birthrights to be sold for a mess of pavement.
