Ecology & Forestry
Ecology is directly linked to all four aspects of SouthStar CDC's Mission Statement.
SouthStar CDC has concerns about the amount of trees and their associated canopies in their development area. These trees provide many benefits to the citizens of this area. Many of these citizens are concerned about the loss of these trees and the loss of their benefits.
