The last public hearing on the Navy’s proposed Outlaying Landing Field next door to Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge was held in Charlotte. There were approximately 300 people at the meeting which is very good considering it is on the opposite ends of the state. The resounding response to the Navy was NO… find another place where the impact is not so great on wildlife & fragile habitat. What will happen now? I’m not sure ,I hope the Navy listens to the public comments as well as staff from US Fish & Wildlife and North Carolina Wildlife Commission.
