A couple counties over from us is a large strip of untouched land, gold and green and lush with ravines and streams. DC's suburban sprawl has shoved up against the edges of it for decades, an oasis of nature surrounded by traffic. The reason it remains untouched? It's a massive vein of asbestos.
I was intrigued by the sign, and after a few minutes of digging on the internet, I found this gem dated 2013 that gives you a little history on what Eisenhower used to do: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-173350-1.html: "Oreo cows! at least the black/white ones! We have some in our area. One group of them is being guarded by Eisenhower, the donkey. I know that because the owners erected a huge sign attesting to that fact!"
I never knew asbestos was a naturally occurring substance. Rather sad that the only way land can be protected from human development is to have it be laced with poison. And thank you for looking that up! I hadn’t found anything when I looked, so it was fun to read about the “Oreo” cows. 😅
