AMHERST - An Amherst-area resident is continuing his fight to stop a proposed wind farm on the marsh near the town. Jim Milner, who lives on the John Black Road, is preparing a submission to the project environmental assessment claiming that its existence threatens the future of the John Lusby Marsh as a wildlife habitat. “Wildlife is the property of the Crown so it is the duty of the province to protect wildlife, not sell to the lowest proponent bidder,” Milner said in his submission. “Environment Canada is responsible for preserving and enhancing the quality of the natural environment and it needs to be respected, protected and conserved. These areas must be avoided for the use of turbines.”

Nova Scotia should move forward with tidal energy development but should make sure it has as little impact on the environment as possible.
