Listen to the 9-5-2023 interview with Starr Belsky former member of the Great Old Broads of the Wilderness Aldo Broad Band. Ms. Belsky was a chief author of a report sent to US Customs and Border Protection in June 2023 in response to the CBP request for citizen response on a remediation plan along the Southwest border wall to address Life, Safety, Environmental, and Remediation Requirements (Make Safe Activities). CBP stated in their request for response that the information provided will “inform the environmental planning process concerning the proposed projects, including planning and analysis pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)”.
The GOBW report focused on environmental concerns including storm water management and the effect of Artificial Light at Night (known as ALAN).
If you are not familiar with the Great Old Broads for the Wilderness (GOBW) it is an inclusive organization not restricted to age or gender, and the organization’s mission is to bring knowledge, leadership and humor to the conservation movement to protect our last wild places on earth. To treasure wild public lands for their intrinsic values and protect for current and future generations. Wilderness and public lands are for everyone; they are the heritage of all and a gift to future generations. And they advocate for healthy borderlands and wildlife corridors, including remediation of border wall impacts.
