On my way back to Cleveland from meetings in Ann Arbor yesterday I stopped by Strange to see what I could see and I saw dozens and dozens of Tundra Swans, 18 Snow Geese, and 9 Sandhill Cranes which was glorious BUT seeing that Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) a major natural gas pipeline operator and multiple environmental justice violator, including Dakota Access Pipeline or DAPL, was being allowed to greenwash itself by sponsoring the prairie signage was disturbing and to my mind inexcusable. We and the wildlife deserve better from our federal and state agencies than to allow bad actors to cloak themselves in perfunctory sponsorships!!!
