Archie Mazmanian reports:
Sunday's (June 5) Sunday NYTimes has an inspirational article by Sarah Wheaton titled "Signs of an Urban River's Revival in Virginia" (at page 19) illustrated with a picture captioned "A heron on the James River in downtown Richmond, VA."
It is a short article that demonstrates what people can do to save a river. Herons would be welcomed to the Charles River but they might not come - or stay - because of the hostile environment demonstrated by the callous treatment of the Charles River White Geese. The Commonwealth of Virginia gets a "thumbs up" and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (and the City of Cambridge) gets a "thumbs down."

I have seen heron off Magazine Beach on the Charles before Cambridge and the state started their destruction of the environment.
The Boston Conservation Commission was highly concerned about heron when they expressed at their shock at the environmental destruction of native vegetation on the Charles by the Charles River Conservancy. Cambridge appointees (and fake groups) share the CRC's contempt for the environment and free animals.
Somewhere in my computer, I have the state's plans to essentially bar free animals from the Charles River Basin. I have to dig it out and post it.
