Save Roxbury Park!!!

Donation protected
Name: Ken Carman

From: Roxbury Park in Meggett, SC.

Support Cause Recipient:  Ken Carman

Purpose: To help cover relocation costs, and cover living expenses while I fight to protect this local treasure from the poor management and harmful vision of the the Town of Meggett leadership. While fighting this fight, I will also be starting a local community service project here where I will be creating pollinator habitat, leading nature tours, and posting wildlife pohots of all of the beautiful and amazing things I come across each day.

Distribution of funds: The funds will be distributed directly to me as stated above. The mayor used his position to bully me into withdrawing an earlier post that I made trying to garner support for the situation I created.  I had not revealed anything at all at that time, but simply informed people that he had asked us to move out, and would they please support a new project that I was launching to help enable me to remain in the Lowocountry.  Instead of asking if there was anything he could do to help, he simply stated that my simple harmless post made him look bad, and he insisted I take it down immediately. Everything unraveled from there, and now the real reasons why I am standing to fight for this special place will come out in court, unless they decide to settle out of court in order to prevent themselves and many others from being further shamed and humiliated.

Here's more of my story from my original opening post:
After sacrificing three years of my life developing Roxbury Park into one of the must see nature destinations of the Lowcountry, the Town of Meggett has decided that they have a better vision for the park, and have kicked me to the curb. Left homeless, and without enough income to find housing locally, my wife and I have decided to move back up to Ohio until my kids graduate from school. I have raised enough funds to rent a truck and make it up to Ohio, but we need a little more help with coming up with enough money to  pay a security deposit and first months rent, plus replace our mattress and a few other essential items that became ruined while living in a tent for the past fifteen months. I also need help with starting a new nature tour business up here in Ohio where I will also create pollinator habitat, and continue to photograph wildlife as I have at Roxbury Park for the past five years.
I am not looking for handouts, I am only looking for people willing to invest in me so that I can continue to do the kind of work that I did at Roxbury Park . . . work that so many people have expressed tremendous appreciation for. I have provided an explanation of many of the ways that the Town of Meggett broke promises, caused problems, and treated me in a way that no person should be treated.  I am highly respected throughout the community, but unfortunatelty not at all appreciated by a town that has no real appreciation for the property that they had been entrusted to protect and take care of.
www.roxburypark.org   The Roxbury Park web site tells more about what recently happened, but it also has links to many of the wildlife photo albums I have created over the last five years.

Read what others have to say about me . . .

Facebook.  The Roxbury Park Facebook page is where I have posted wildlife albums from virtually every weekend the park has been open since January of 2014. The Roxbury Park Facebook page shows the park as a full Five Star destination. Five Star is almost unheard of.
You can also read through hundreds if not thousands of posts I have made over the past three years and read how much respect people have more me who know me, and know what I have meant to the park.  
Of course as always there are those who try to discredit me, but the truth will prevail.
