Unsanctioned camp along Kaw feeds eagle habitat concerns
The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks says no removal plans for an unsanctioned homeless camp behind the Amtrak station in East Lawrence near Seventh and New Jersey streets. Officials note the nearest bald eagle nest is about a mile downstream, so impact on habitat is considered relatively low for now. KDWP enforces a conservation easement from the late 1980s on the Riverfront Mall property, and is researching whether the camp violates protections, with no city removal directive issued yet.
