On trees, clean air, WI DNR schooled by 4th-grader. Of its choice.

I'd noted that on the heels of issuing air pollution permits to Foxconn, and green-lighting wetland-fills and rare-timber cutting for various golf course or sand mining projects, the WI DNR set out without a shred of awareness or ironic reflection to celebrate Clean Air Month.

Which included a children's poetry contest, and the DNR has posted the winning entry.

Not sure why the winner's name is not included, but props to the unnamed 4th-grader for getting right what Walker's dirty air enablers atop his 'chamber of commerce mentality'-directed agency intentionally get wrong: 
"Trees give us oxygen and allow us to live. We must protect air from pollution. You must be the solution."
Thanks to photographer Steve Back for this aerial view

of a 247-acre nature preserve which will lose about half its trees to the Kohler golf course project in Sheboygan County.

The DNR has awarded the proposal a now-contested wetland-fill permit, and both the DNR and its oversight body have said it may have acreage within an adjoining state park for roads and a large maintenance and equipment storage building.
