Our environment is rapidly being destroyed on a daily basis - why, why, why cut down acres and acres of trees - this earth does not belong to us, it is a gift that is being loaned to us and we must respect - solar power is a wonderful thing but don't destroy in order to build!!

Devastation to the mountain.

Please don't cut down trees when there is no pressing need to use this particular site. Trees add oxygen to our air--they provide an ecosystem for plants and animals. A solar project is an environmental plus--there's surely no reason to detract from that progressive move by killing the trees that are refreshing all of the air in their neighborhood and providing beauty for the people of the mountain.

This project will destroy 68 acres of forest and displace or hurt all the wildlife in this area, As it is wildlife is getting push into smaller areas. I am sure there are other locations that can be used that are already cleared and not being used.

Dear Ms. Bachman, I live on Candlewood Mountain, and I am hoping that you can help prevent the building of a solar farm on the mountain. I see wildlife in these woods every day, and I am concerned that the deforestation will hurt them. I also think the deforestation will lead to more polluted water runoff in Candlewood Lake. I love solar power; I just don't think it's in the best interests of the environment to clear cut for solar power. New Milford has a great deal of open space and abandoned factories where the solar panels would have a more positive impact on the environment. thank you, Rabbi Ari Rosenberg

The time is now to rise up and say "NO".

Some of the trees are 90 and 100 years old. The habitat of our wild life, the turkeys, owls, hawks, bobcat, coyotes, deer, and wolves should also be protected. It is beautiful forest land.
