An environmentalist is rallying others in her community in the battle against controversial wind turbines.

A preliminary hearing to appeal the decision to allow NextEra Energy Canada to install 38 turbines in the Kerwood-area goes before the Environmental Review Tribunal Monday.

Esther Wrightman with the Middlesex Lambton Wind Action Group says for those in her community, it is personal.

Residents are concerned the turbines come with serious risk to health, safety and wildlife.

The Adelaide-Metcalfe council will also be discussing the issue of wind turbines at its meeting Monday night.
