I Don't know if i can post here. if not, please delete it all !

From Friends of Big Bear Valley and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam FB page

:hlp: BIG BEAR’S EAGLES COULD BE IN DANGER!! PLEASE HELP! :hlp:
Jackie and Shadow need your help to keep them from being EVICTED from their home. A proposal for 50 luxury house sites with new roads, a huge private marina and parking area only ½ mile from their nest could destroy the future possibility of them continuing to nest in this area. The site of this proposed development can be seen from the nest cam! (yellow circle in the cam photo below). The decision will be made by County Supervisors on October 8.
This currently forested lakefront site (sunrise photo below) is used by eagles to feed themselves and their chicks. The marina, parking, roads and houses would destroy this key north shore foraging ground. And the monumental increase in disturbance in this quiet area would likely cause the eagles to abandon the nest. Even the County’s official environmental documents state that there would be significant detrimental impacts to bald eagles. County planning is recommending approval, in spite of these harmful impacts, saying that housing is more important. But we currently have over 600 houses for sale--150 more than a year ago--in our small valley!
The proposed project would also intensify fire danger in an area already plagued with high fire-risk and ranked in the top 1% as having the most hazardous, least adequate fire and emergency evacuation routes. Approval of this proposal would have major harmful impacts to the bald eagles, to our National Forest, to our residents and to our visitors.
WHAT YOU CAN DO—
-Please share this post with everyone.
-Please copy, sign and email or mail the letter posted below (or download it from our website), with whatever changes or additional comments you’d like to make (and cc each official listed on the letter).
-Ask your friends and family to send emails or letters, also.
-If you are anywhere nearby, please attend the hearing before the Supervisors on October 8 in San Bernardino (385 N. Arrowhead Ave.) at 10 a.m. (If you need a ride from Big Bear, email me at [email protected] ).
-If you have questions or are willing to be more involved to help with anything, please email me also.
For more information on all of this, please visit the “Environmental Watch/Action Needed” page of our website: https://friendsofbigbearvalley.org/envi ... hqChrCYngE
Thank you thank you thank you for your assistance!!

Re: Proposed Moon Camp development, October 8 Supervisors’ hearing
Dear Supervisors:
I am asking you to DENY the detrimental zone change and project proposal for the Moon Camp development in Fawnskin. Increasing housing density in this area would cause major irreversible harm to the bald eagles that nest nearby and forage on the site.
The most recent Draft Environmental Impact Report (2011) concluded there would be significant adverse impacts to bald eagles. That analysis was based on bald eagles only wintering in the valley for a few months a year. Beginning in 2012, a pair of bald eagles began nesting within ½ mile of the project site. The much more significant impacts this project would cause based on this key change has never been evaluated. Project proponents have attempted to conceal the true impacts to bald eagles by creating what they call a ‘Long Term Management Plan.’ Without proper analysis, any management plan is invalid.
Planning staff cites the need for housing as more important than any harm caused to bald eagles. This area is in the heart of a National Forest, in a unique, rural area on the north side of the lake. The project site itself contains 3 species of plants and rare habitat that do not exist anywhere else in the world! Less than 1/3 of this special habitat is planned to be conserved. With over 600 homes currently for sale in this small valley (150 more than a year ago), there is no justification to declare that a need for housing overrides significant harmful impacts to bald eagles.
Any zone change, as this project requires, must be in the public interest. This area is already rated such a high fire risk that many local homeowners have had their insurance cancelled. A housing density increase along the National Forest boundary would escalate the fire risk. The area is already ranked in the top 1% as having the most hazardous, least adequate fire and emergency evacuation routes in the state. This zoning change would further aggravate that potentially dire evacuation deficiency.
To approve this project, County decision-makers would be saying they care more about adding luxury houses and a private marina than they care about preventing harmful impacts to the bald eagles, to our National Forest, to our residents and to our visitors. Please DENY the detrimental zone change and project proposal for the Moon Camp development in Fawnskin.
Most sincerely,
