Care should be taken to compare the ecologi- cal impact of the recently proposed Eagan Township Site with other possible sites . A new airport at the Nerth Search Area would be particu- larly damaging to the ecology of the Cedar Creek Natural History Area, a 5600-acre tract , jointly operated for the past thirty years by the Minnesota Academy of Science and the University of Minnesota. It is dedicated to scientific research and teaching of natural history and ecology and to the preservation of_ natural habitats . Its natural values located in close proximity to the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area make it particularly useful for scienti- fic and educational purposes . The research already done at Cedar Creek has gained world-wide attention in scien- tific circles , and an international reputation for excellence in biological sciencea for Nlinnesota . The general public is at present not aware of the seriously damaging effect which a new airport �aith its associated industrialization would surely have on this sensitive study area. The reason is that there has been a concerted effort to avoid publicity which �vould attract visitors with only a casual interest .
