Markham Hill Plans Won't Help the Turtles

This story contains Joe Neal's editorial in the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette on August 10, 2018 entitled, "Markham Hill plans won't help the turtles". He writes, "One thing not widely understood about impacts of development like that now proposed for Markham Hill is that populations of wild animals, like our familiar three-toed box turtles, suffer direct negative consequences, and I don't mean those associated with being run over by bulldozers. Entire populations of these animals are destroyed."
