Eric Schaefer has provided us with a number of wonderful articles on some of his wilderness experiences. His recent article in today's N&R Outdoors Section (C10) in the back of the Sports Section is very timely.
Eric is one who has moved through the world with a gentle footprint that honors simplicity and shows love for the natural environment. He tells of his recent adventure, along with Vance Arnold: "...dragging the boat (due to very low water) through cat briars and poison ivy,under or over falling trees, stumbling over submerged sticks, falling in holes in the water or sitting in the water resting up for the next obstacles."
Schaefer asks us "How badly we want this park, what are we willing to sacrifice, and how extensive and inclusive it needs to be are questions we ought to be asking now, since we have only one chance. Once the land is developed there will be no returning."
"Shall we make this park our priority and do what we can to ensure it will be the jewel that is envisioned...? Although I'm a golfer and enjoy walking around a new course, this is a no-brainer -- our priority should be making this park the crown jewel of the Piedmont..."
"There are other sites for golf course -- there is no other place for the Haw River State Park."
"Let your commissioners know what you think."

I think that building these homes would really be a henderance to the area in the long run. For the homes that would be built altogether it would cost about 92 million dollars.When th ecosystem runs out runs every year it doesnt have nearly as much wastes,trash or the water supply wouldn't be taken away. from the river.Iconclude that if homes are built 322 million dollars would be spent into building,decorating,and not to mention inserting pipelines,water pipes etc.Also that Rockingham County where all of this taking place aren't going to get any tax dollars and are losing money from the water treatments.Finally people that are living in the homes would have tp pay numerous amountsto keepaway animals that have no where to go because there habit was invaded.To expandthe park would give companies a benefit because they would spend less on restoring the patk and the profit would be more than if the spend as much money on houses and get less of a profit.
Haw River State Park should not become a Million Dollar development. We are not certain that people will actually buy the homes that are said to be built here. Building this development is a huge risk, and can result in roughly a 2,400 billion dollar loss. However, if we preserve the park, which we have already budgeted for, we will not be at a loss, nor will we be destroying resources or habitats. Preserving thr park is in our best interest in the long run, and money wise.
(I apologize for not including accurate numbers or estimates.)
The Haw River State Park is a nationally historic area which holds an abundant amount of ecosystem capital. If the Haw River State Park is not destroyed for the sake of million dollar houses its ecosystem capital will triple within the next few years. The nearly 700 acres of land would value at about 400 billion dollars as it is today pertaining to ecosystem capital. If Guilford County decides to build mansions instead of preserving the state park then it will end up losing money in the long run. It costs thousands of dollars to create sewer lines, hire contractors, electricians, construction workers, maintenance crews, surveyors, and also hire realtors; which doesn't add up to all of the capital derived from the ecosystems of the Haw river state park. The park provides us with majestic scenery, exotic wildlife, and a place for recreation. If the Guilford County commissioners decide not to preserve the park then not only will Guilford County be loosing and important part of history but North Carolina will lose its ecosystem capital forever.
