I imagine a preserve is what will happen Ali. I think they're still figuring out how many turtles are in the area - but a neighboring township has a least 2 preserves in proximity to development, one of which received a
pretty big grant a few years back.
It's just very odd to drive past the parking lots in the middle of nowhere. "They pave paradise..."
Personally, I'm torn between disgust for urban sprawl - and the hope of selling my house for a shit ton more than I paid for it. And the turtles are just plain cute...
