When I think of irony, two stories come to my mind. A beautiful marsh that had many redwing blackbirds – developers built a big complex with many houses and called it Redwing Estates. Naturally in order to build, they destroyed the natural environment and by the time they had built the first house there were no redwings in the area. The same with a golf course called Sage Mesa – the area was full of sage brush natural to the area, so they kept the name and killed off most of the sage.
On the Sunshine Coast we have the Sunshine Coast Community Forest, that won’t listen to the community and is clear-cutting the forest as quickly as possible. I am suggesting that they change their name to Sunshine Coast Timbers or S.C. Logging Company.
