Historical Look at Natural Gas Mining in Chenango

Don, you bring up some valid points. And you reminded me of the long-standing natural gas line which runs through our county and has been there for decades. Once the covering soil was seeded, both manually and naturally, it provided badly needed low growth flora and grass and sedges that benefited many species of wildlife.Even today, many years after the line was finished, a walk along it will reveal a variety of birds and other wildlife enjoying the habitat that has and is rapidly disappearing from our county, being replaced by brush and emerging forest species.
