What is a scrape, and why are not all wetlands owners equal?

Brian
How come the DNR never contact me about any Wetland issues, I do own more Wetlands than many of the other clubs?

I would also like to know why if the DNR are so PRO saving the wetlands why they allowed my wetland neighbor to dig his(Cattails) up to put a scrape in? Funny how things work.

For the SCRAPE, It is where you dig the ground usually less than two feet to create an area to retain water to create a "wetland" type area. When your picking up pizza in Fort there is one just off the 26 bypass on the right before you exit onto hwy. 12 into Fort. Mike Halstead allowed the one at Seyers and many others in his marsh until Mark called him and others at the DNR to ask why he was allowing this to be done buy destroying the marsh which we are trying to save and regenerate new growth.
