Oppose the Destruction of an Ann Arbor Urban Forest

Barb Wood

Ann Arbor, the very name stands for what this city is, or was. all about. Preserving our natural heritage of arbors, literal translation - trees, is paramount to maintaining what makes Ann Arbor special, what makes "townies" want to live here, and visiters (the U population) enjoy their stay here. This planned destruction of one the City's prized woods has got to stop now.

Preserving environment and habitat that makes Ann Arbor desirable in the first place. Let’s not ruin our city’s natural beauty and ecosystems.

Claudia Sauer

We don’t need more expensive homes we need homes for first time buyers. We have enough overpriced ones.

Lisa Baker

We are overcrowded with homes already. Where will the animals go?

Katie Hoban

The forest is home to a fox and two kits who will be displaced or killed by the construction. Ann Arbor needs housing in areas that don’t require clear-cutting mature forests—like the Concordia campus next door.

Rita Chatterjee

We oppose the destruction of the 3420 Glazier Way urban forest and urge the Ann Arbor City Council and the Ann Arbor Planning Commission to reject the proposed annexation, rezoning, and site plan for the Glazier Heights townhome project. At 3420 Glazier Way in northeast Ann Arbor, the proposed 76-unit Glazier Heights development could clear-cut over 450 trees across an 8-acre wooded site. We understand that Ann Arbor needs housing, but this housing cannot be labeled affordable.

With all the high rises and apartment developments going on right now, we are cementing over the city. we already have herds of displaced deer and turkeys roaming the city and its suburbs. We don't need anymore destruction of the urban forests we have left. Ann Arbor used to be called Tree City. I think if there is more buildng over of land, we should change Ann Arbor's name to "Cement City". Stop the destruction

Leave our land alone. We don't want what you are offering!

Mark A Zappone

We must preserve trees and nature as a whole —trees specifically sequester carbon and our carbon footprint at present cannot afford to lose anymore forests .

Ann Arbor =Trees NOT townhouses

Celeste Piraino

Ann Arbor +Trees NOT townhouses

Donna Babcock

To the current city leaders, do not vote to destroy our natural environment while lecturing us about climate change and A2Zero.

Mia Wotton

Established forests are an important part of our ecosystem, and we need to protect this area.

Barb McRae

Trees keep creatures healthy. We now have deer in our backyard because a large apartment complex went up behind our neighborhood.

Nancy Leff

A2 Zero goals can never be met as city officials continue to allow the destruction of our tree canopy and natural areas for development that has become out of control.

martha Ryznar

use already disturbed land. don't destroy our woods.

Patricia Wolff

We are Ann ARBOR. Lose that at our peril.

Patricia Truzzi

We ask our city leaders to choose a better path: protect the 3420 Glazier Way urban forest, respect the Glazier Hill Nature Area, and plan for growth without sacrificing one of the city’s most valuable natural assets. These are important in so many ways, and once destroyed will not be easily or quickly replaced.

Kip Bohne

The destruction of natural areas is not in Ann Arbor’s best interest!

Kelly Saxton-Graham

We need to maintain our woods for our animal friends and our oxygen. There are too many housing units being developed all over the city
