Please deny JSM the permit to remove 179 trees from Buck Woods. Highland Park likes to be proud of its status as a green community. Let's stand behind those words.

Highland Park is a Green community. It is critical that we save Buck Woods from development.

There will be runoff problems if the entire site is covered in buildings, concrete and roads.

Highland Park should revoke the tree removal permit and allow a responsible plan that takes the environment, the people, and the trees into account.

Trees stabilize slopes. Removing the trees may destabilize the land upslope of the trees.

Please do not allow more tree removal around HP. Too many trees have already been mismanaged and wrongly taken down. The town needs to step up to its responsibility and protect Tree City and us residents.

The original reasons for granting a permit in violation of Highland Park's own ordinances no longer exist, so the permit should be retracted.

HP is a Green Sustainable Earth Friendly City! Let’s keep it that way! Oxygen matters!
Air quality benefits our children for years to
come! Stop this “developer” from destroying this scant resource! Just down the hill from there is the Meadows Trail.
Go walk that trail & feel the sense of quiet & & serenity safety there, which is protected by the trees up range of it! Nature worth fighting

This is a habitat for a lot of wildlife - they should also be on our mind when we think Buck Woods

Woodlands are essential for groundwater management, and older stable woods are almost impossible to replace. For the preservation of the environment, revoke the tree cutting permit and develop an environmentally sensitive management plan.

As a Landscape Architect, I have never heard of the need to remove so many trees for "environmental testing." It does not make any sense.

One of the things that makes HP unique is our trees--please don't let our town become like so many of the surrounding ones, indistinguishable and boring. NO trees need to be removed for environmental testing--this is the opposite of an environmentally conscious process.

Buck Woods is a very sensitive piece of land. Please rescind the tree-cutting permit for Buck woods. The town is already overrun with deer because of over-development, please preserve green space in HP.

I urge the Council to revoke the tree removal permit and keep Buck Woods from being decimated.
