A Refuge for Canada Geese
Councilman Hal Bernson’s proposal to restore the Chatsworth reservoir is an excellent idea.
Contrary to environmentalists’ concerns, restoration of the reservoir would enhance the preservation of wildlife, especially Canada geese. Many of our national wildlife refuges have become nothing more than private hunting preserves and do little to preserve wildlife. The Canada geese are shot from the skies from the moment they start their migration until they reach their wintering grounds.
Restoring the Chatsworth reservoir would give the geese an expanded refuge from the shotgun gantlet.
