Please save the reticulated flatwood salamanders. Also, I may have them on my 38.5 acres swamp land. I do have salamanders on the creek and pond area, but I do not go out and search for them. Nor do I remember their patterns. When my sons were young, they would show me one off and on and then return it to the mud. Including my neighbors' acerage there are probably 100 acres dear to the salamanders' existence. Please, I beg you, see if this acerage is worth your attention. One section has already been cleared, and if help isn't available, others may well be cleared. Help before it is too late, please. Sincerely, Diane R. Sheppard of Barnwell County in S.C. P.S. The acerage also is home to great blue heron and a migration spot for many migrating fowl. Too, it houses gray foxes and raccoons.
