A very, very bad idea that I hope gets a good spanking in public hearing.
If anybody hears more about this, please post to Tweeters - for the birds.
Thanks - Mark

Subject: [Tweeters] Impacts of ropes courses on bird life



Hello Tweeters,

Apparently a company called "Go Ape" is hoping to establish a ropes course
in Lincoln Park; it's unclear whether it would be 1 acre or up to 10 acres.
Does anyone know of studies of the impacts of such facilities on birds and
bird life?

I'm hearing about this third-hand, so unfortunately I don't know the
ultimate source of this information or the current status of the proposed
project, which sounds like it would be a partnership between the city and
the company, with some profit-sharing.

Thank you for any insights you can offer,
Trileigh
