This area is a unique place of nature and calm in our area. Many deer, raccoons, birds and squirrels live here. I support saving this beautiful nature area that so many people enjoy.

Please, rethink you plans. We need this area to remain and act as a natural run-off.

The areas of Shorewood that contain water and woods are being destroyed for the convenience of human travel and human encroachment into natural areas. Importantly, when the last fish has been caught and the last tree has been cut, only then will humans realize you can't eat money!!

We keep losing more of our mature
hardwoods to development! PLEASE do NOT destroy the forest.

Each mature tree, followed by the younger trees in their time, are hosts to hundreds of different insects which are an important food source for nesting birds and their young each year (Bringing Nature Home- Douglas Tallamy). Additionally, the trees, shrubs, and other plants play a significant role in soil health. The interconnectedness of the many other living things cannot be ignored. The woods are invaluable for its role in the ecosystem as well as for us to experience and be a part of. I find destroying this gem to be an incalculable loss and counter to the values of Shorewood. An alternative approach to storm water run-off must be pursued.

We cannot afford to destroy trees that help protect the environment for a project that has no guarantee of remedying the problem

This incredible forest was gifted to us by a family that wouldn't want it destroyed. It was intended to be enjoyed and appreciated for its tremendous beauty. Obviously, many people in our community are doing just that. What it provides is more valuable than words can describe. To replace this piece of solace and beauty with a messy cesspool would be a failure that cannot be reversed in any of our lifetimes. This project is shortsighted and will degrade quality of life and value of properties for those who live nearby. Personally, I find it heartbreaking. I invite our city leaders to walk the path through Wedgwood forest at dawn, breathe deeply, and reconsider a better, less destructive plan. I offer to meet you there with a thermos of hot coffee and fresh cinnamon rolls.

This is such a great shaded area along the bike path. It would be such a shame to see it razed. Please reconsider!
