1. The Scottish people need to do this to Trump's golf course in Aberdeen and restore the Dune Communities

Trump promised over a thousand jobs if they let him build a golf course and a clubhouse
there and it is now supporting less than 100 jobs over half of which are independent
workers who are caddies and some of the other jobs are as waiters and waitresses are
supported by tips.


The Scotch have a program called rewilding and Trump’s golf courses would be a perfect
place to do those projects. Btw dunes are meant to move with the wind and Trump’s money
losing golf course on the N.E. Coast would be a nice place to re-wild.

The borough decided to let it re-wild and it's become a pretty nice trap for birds.

Most of the cart paths are still passable on foot and between the tree lined and weedy fairways, we get a nice mix of birds throughout the year.
