Open Space Committee Seeks To Ban Drone Operation From Grassland Preserves

June 18, 2021 Environment

Open Space Advisory Committee member Chris Williams said some drones look like predators of birds that nest in the grassland preserves.

The operation of drones would be banned from two native grassland preserves under a recommendation from the township Open Space Advisory Committee.

The Committee’s concern is that the drones will scare nesting birds – some of which are threatened species, or on the state’s special “concern” list – from their nests and make them abandon whatever eggs the birds are incubating.
