we're in the drum Hiller Marsh which is south of Marshall this is a 23 25 acre Marsh um it's been left untouched virtually forever um you'll see the canary grass all the um a lot of the things have died the milkweed and stuff but this is a wetlands and this is what's being endangered now just to this side of us we have a drain there is a drain that goes through the backside and there's a creek that goes about halfway through you can see all the canary grass this is all the Marsh and the transmission lines are going to go right next to the creek in the back right on the creek in the back so and there is an easement that's involved and I think it's 200t easement so it's going to take out a lot of this that has been left untouched and um this is a home for the eastern masaka rattlesnake which EMR is a whole lot easier to to pronounce but um they've been cited out here we have pictures of them they are on the endangered species list and it's just a 25 acre Marsh we're hoping that the Transmissions lines can be pushed over a little bit to the east to go on the highlands you can see the ridge out there in the distance and that would avoid this area you can see the the ridge on the other side of those trees but otherwise it's going to go right down the other Creek and um I don't know it it just seems a shame to have to disturb this area
