Cleared area along River Road will have environmental consequences - Athens NEWS

To the Editor:

This devastation (clearcut at U.S. Rt. 33 and River Road near The Plains) stands to be more of a serious environmental concern than many may consider. It runs on the backside of properties that run the length of River Road. The area along River Road, and adjacent to the Hocking River (and bike path) is home to a large population and a variety of amphibians and wildlife. OU students and others flock to the area for observation, educational and other purposes to study these amphibians.

Run-off from AEP’s spraying along power lines already has caused environmental concern for residents of River Road. As this property, mentioned in the Jan. 10 Athens NEWS article, runs along the back side of the properties that run the length of River Road (the river and bike path), maybe more research should be done regarding environmental impact to the area.
