   Comments: Thank you Dean Watzin for pointing out a policy I should have started following years ago. My previous donations to CNR were based on loyalty and pride in CNR and weren't generating the highest income. Given the lack of pride of CNR in its management of forest land it owns, I'll take the example and be careful to donate to other, more profitable institutions from now on.

   Comments: as a life long resident of Jacksonville NC I believe this is a terrible decision. What little forested areas we have left here need to be protected. Poorly planned urban sprawl in JAcksonville has left us with unoccupied housing, half filled apartment complexes, displaced wildlife and few places to take our children to experience the outdoors. Hoffman forest is our last retreat.

   Comments: The College of Natural Resources should demonstrate leadership in natural resources conservation and continue to own and manage the Hofmann. This short-sighted approach to maximizing profits is not what the Hofmann nor the College is about. It is time for conservation and education to be the top priorities. Class of 1982.

    Comments: I was born, raised and currently live in eastern NC. I have seen the destruction of countless acres of natural forests only to be replaced by endless pine tree farms. The natural beauty of this region is in constant danger and I implore you to preserve the Hofmann Forest.

    Comments: I have an undergraduate and MS degree from NCSU Forestry School. I certainly understand the economic challenges facing the School, but fervently disagree that selling the Hoffman Forest is an acceptable alternative action that thoughtfully addresses those challenges. The Hoffman is an IRREPLACEABLE asset that must be retained.

    Comments: My father came to Raleigh from New Jersey on a forestry scholarship in the 30's, He went to "summer camp" in Hofmann and told us stories about it every time we drove through on our way to the beach. The lessons that land has taught to thousands are invaluable. You cannot put a price tag on it. Once it is gone, it's gone. There are more things at stake here than a dollar amount or portfolio, and they are far more precious! As an undergraduate and graduate alum, I will have to rethink my future loyalties if it is sold.

    Comments: I do not think that Professor Hofmann's reason to gift this unique undeveloped 80000 acres was totally for estate planning purposes. I think is was a move of passion, passion for the preservation of forestry in our state and in our country. He accomplished two goals at once with this gift- he preserved the acreage as well as leaving a natural classroom for teaching and research for the University. Is selling for profit to be used in other areas what Prof intended when he made the gift? Please do not let this beautiful and unique natural resource be sold off and probably developed like is daily happening to a very important asset in our state, our private forestland. We all need the trees for clean air, clean water, carbon dioxide removal and research to sustain these elements that we all need to survive. Come on, the purpose of the university is not to profit but to educate and research and to set an example of stewardship to our younger generations. Powers that be at the University please slow down. Once done , no turning back....

    Comments: This is an historic forest grant to be used for funding to an existing academic program at NCSU, College of Natural Resources. It should not be sold to solve some quick fix budget problem. The forest grant was intended as a long tern educational funding tool. How a you going to refund the programs it supports now ??? You ugly republicans probably don''t care anyway! The Hofmann Forest resources help support one of largest industries in our state.
