Yeah, on one of the other threads I suggested transplanting some examples of an endangered species or two onto the land, take pictures and send them off to WWF or Sierra Club or something.
Which, of course, would be illegal. So I was only joking about it ;-) u
I actually did use the “wetlands” gambit where I used to work. I stopped their plans dead cold.
Also, on some land I used to own I found lots of wild plants that were called “Pink Lady Slippers” growing.
Checked them out and they were “protected” in my state. I kept that knowledge in reserve for any situation where my property might have been taken by the county for ROWs (it had happened before).
