    The attached letter from the Pa Fish and Boat commission confirms the inhabitance of the endangered specie Bag Turtles on and around the area the railroad runs through. They live on my property along and around the railroad. I request a full Bog Turtle study to be completed by a Bog Turtle expert in order to ensure the survival of this endangered species. This study should be completed prior to approval of the York Rail Trail & York Railroad acquisition approval being finalized. Additionally, Non of the landowners were notified of this project and 24 (of 31) adjoining landowners we were able to contact in the 3 days since we found out about this theft - All have signed the petition against the project, along with 14 other interested family members and residents. The community doesn't want this project! The Railroad act of 1875 specifically states the railroad has an easement only for the purpose stated" and the land is to revert back to the landowner upon abandonment. Not to be sold and converted to a different use!"

    There is a community of endangered Bog Turtles that live on my property surrounding the railroad the rail trail authority is looking to acquire. Disturbing the area in any way jeopardizes the well being of these endangered species. I am requesting a full BOG TURTLE environmental study to be completed by a Bog Turtle expert, prior to any final ruling on the approval of this project. Attached proof of the Bog Turtles living along the railroad in Heidelberg Twp.
