Bald Eagles at Risk of Having Their Home Developed in Highfill, Arkansas!
Update (August 12, 2024): Reportedly, town officials have approved the rezoning of this land, which would allow D.R. Horton to bulldoze this known bald eagle nesting site. This fight is far from over! Please contact D.R. Horton officials, urging them not to go through with this plan! Their contact information has been added to the updated area below.
Original post:
Last year, PETA was alerted to the proposed rezoning of land along W. Arkansas Highway 12 in Highfill, Arkansas, which is reportedly a well-established nesting area for bald eagles. After hearing from PETA supporters, town officials voted against issuing permits that would allow billion-dollar development company D.R. Horton to bulldoze and build on the land. Sadly, just months later, we’ve been told that new permits to develop the land are already being considered. The next council meeting is scheduled for February 13, and the next planning commission meeting is scheduled for February 27.
