(Copyright The Windsor Star 2004) Windsor will
apply for another $750,000 over three years from the Federal Habitat
Stewardship Program to buy and preserve land in the Spring Garden Natural
Area. The city has
already received $1 million over the last three years in matching funds from
the program to acquire habitat for the eastern massasauga rattlesnake, found
in the area. It is
estimated that it will cost as much as $10 million to acquire all of the
Spring Garden area of natural and significant interest (ANSI). The city still
needs to acquire about one-third of the property. Initial
proposals for grants focused on the rattlesnake, a threatened species, but
the area supports many other threatened and endangered species as well as
areas of tallgrass prairie, savanna and woodland. |
