The citizens and public officials who established the bird and wildlife sanctuaries on several blocks in Avalon and Stone Harbor possessed great vision and foresight. As did those in Sea Isle responsible for preserving the Townsends Inlet water front park. With so few undeveloped plots of land left on our barrier islands, it would be a welcome development if Sea Isle officials sought to establish a nature observatory towards the north end of town as well as plant more trees on land and parks of city-owned property.
