## Resource

Tacoma neighbors are in hot water with developers over “The Preserve” housing project, sparking a wildlife showdown after protests erupted over alleged tree clearing near a bald eagle nest. Claims of a helicopter being used to scare birds were debunked by developers, who say it was for homeless encampment checks — and the city confirmed no verified active eagle nest exists on site. Though bald eagles are no longer endangered, federal law still protects their nests, and while photos of an eagle were submitted, officials say that’s not enough to halt construction. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating but can’t stop work without a court order. Tree clearing is done, grading has begun, and townhomes are on track for late next year — leaving frustrated residents pushing for ordinance changes to better protect wildlife during development.
