We need MORE green space in South Bend, not less! The ideal would be to save Elbel as a park or nature preserve. Let's do it!

Please save these wetlands! Cranes and tons of other wildlife are relying on us to save what little land has been left for them!

We need more green space not more stores or houses. Why would you sell a park with natural areas

Maintaining natural places must be a priority. Natural space help maintain the health of the earth and the humans who inhabit it. Please don't sell Eibel Golf Course. It's priceless.

Please, this does not need to be done. At some point, we will have no land left, no habitat, and a future for mankind that is just as bleak. Keep it wild.

I have played golf at Elbel since it opened in 19/64-65, and it would be very discouraging to see those beautiful wetlands turned into residental/commercial entities. In nature, the most beautiful merging of God and Man is a golf course.

1. Wetlands are an extremely important part of the environment. Without a healthy environment, humans will not be able to survive. 2. The South Bend area has already been subject to excess development, driven by low interest rates.

Common Council of South Bend, the greatest asset this land holds is in leaving it be.

There are some viable options to outright sale that should be carefully studied by the community at large, who should decide how to best preserve this valuable legacy

Jamie, thank you!! Do you know someone who can present the ecological or health and wellness importance of wetlands? We would like to assist the City in finding experts in this area.
