Courses In Forestry

how can i confront my landlord to reconsider selling 200 acres of forestry to be leveled into a golf course?
a few weeks ago my dad told me we were going to have to move in about a year. our landlord, though a great guy that he is, also has a bit of a greed streak in him that rules over his decisions about everything. I’ve known for a few months now that he has been bombarded with offers for his land and he now gave in for great sum of which I’ll never see in the whole of my life. i don’t argue because i have no platform to begin with, but i fear the fact that the trees will be leveled. we have wild dogs, coyotes, turkeys, deer, elk, and pumas on our property and it’s one of the few privately own properties in the Black Hills that has been well kept and has had a strict law for no smoking or hunting on the premises. even still we have national forestry behind the property and most every day I’ll hear gun shots and motorized vehicles echo through the trees. our 200 acres that we live on is a safe haven for wildlife, set safely away from the city. it shouldn’t be wasted on a golf course.
Try to find out if there is some sort of environmental and/or wildlife coalition in your community. Most of these organizations have volunteer lawyers (or access to lawyers who will work pro bono) that are willing to try and fight to preserve land.
Contact the EPA and even the Nature Conservancy too. USUALLY, an environmental impact study needs to be done on such projects to find out what impact a golf course will have on a community…potential water pollution etc. It’s a shame you can’t find out if there are endangered or threatened animal/fish speices on this property…that could help save the land from destruction.
