To the editor:

Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife attended Gloria Tate’s “Catch the Vision” but our vision did not hit the newspapers.

Our vision for CCFW is simply to save all the wildlife in Cape Coral for our children and grandchildren, all of our residents to enjoy as well as the hundreds of tourists to come to observe our burrowing owls each year .

Our vision is to see that we will still have thousands of gopher tortoises, burrowing owls and other wildlife into the 22nd Century beginning 2100.

To date we have bought nearly 60 parcels with gopher tortoises and burrowing owls on them. Our goal is to buy 150 parcels for wildlife in the Cape. Our vision is to see 3,000 owls or more in the Cape forever. Our further vision is to build homes for the owls with artificial burrows as we term them starter burrows for peoples yards.

Go to CCFRIENDSOFWILDLIFE.org for starter burrow information and other information. And call 239-980-2593 if you’d like to have a starter burrow in your yard. This will aid our mission immensely of over 3,000 owls into the next century.

As I said our mission is simple but on going.Please join our club for another vision is obtaining over 1,000 members. Again, go to our web page to join and see further information on our club.

Thank you Ms. Gloria Tate to let us attend your great Vision expo.
