Many of you are familiar with Northeastern University’s proposed expansion at East Point Nahant. It involves the construction of a 60,000 sq.ft. three story building and a parking lot. This expansion is located adjacent to Lodge Park and in a vegetated valley and hill that hosts resident and migratory birds and is a critical location for coastal migration.

The Board of the Brookline Bird Club has taken a stance against this proposed expansion  and has sent a letter in this regard to Northeastern University and to the Nahant Board of Selectmen.

The BBC has many active members and we can make a difference. Please join this effort to protect the environment and the birds.  A suggested letter can be found here. Please send copies to Northeastern and to the Nahant Selectmen with your signature, printed name and city of residence.

Thank You,

Linda Pivacek
