Eleanor and Marlin Beever survey the Crown land that runs adjacent to their own property located just south of Rivers. The farming couple told the Sun on Tuesday afternoon that they’ve fallen in love with this land over the last couple decades and don’t want to see it destroyed by a proposed aggregate mining operation that is being brought forward by Western Asphalt Products.
