Residents and friends of the Winchell
Lake area are soliciting support to prevent inappropriate development in
the valley which contains Winchell Lake and a number of smaller water bodies,
know as Winchell Coulee. The development, which involves draining the wetland
adjacent to the lake, will result in a decreased water flow in and out
the Winchell Coulee. This will lead to degradation of the sports fishery
in the valley, closing of a natural wildlife movement corridor, and habitat
destruction which will threaten key breeding areas for a number of critical
bird and animal species.
