For anyone who has enjoyed birding around the Little Rock Port Authority (LRPA) area, you will be familiar with a recessed field along Industrial Harbor Dr. and Slackwater Harbor Dr. that the LRPA has been busy filling in the past few years. (The same field where several species of birds, including shorebirds, have been found.)
After a group of local birders, led by Dan Scheiman, expressed their concern about the filling in of the field to Executive Director Brian Day, a plan was set in motion to create some bird friendly habitat.
A triangular shaped field, next to the one being filled in, has been designated for development as a wetland restoration area to be called Triangle Park.
I just found out yesterday, there was a 30-day public notice and comment period concerning this project. The comment period ends Wednesday, April 16. I have attached the public notice and included the link below for more information.
I would like to encourage everyone, especially those who bird around the port, to send a comment in favor of this project.
