The Farm Center is a vital part of the community and a landmark of the Valley. Please, whatever politics you're playing, don't do this to your home.

Travesty to say the least. Shameful indeed.

It would be such a shame to see the farm go. We need more programs like this.

We need more vocational programs and cannot afford to lose one that is so successful for its students.

This is a landmark, and holds many memories for thousands of people! Please, reconsider keeping this precious and rare program. What a joy it is to have a bit of the country in the center of town. Also, the Vet program is so essential to this area and I have a few friends who are partaking of this very program! What a shame if it shuts down. We will ALL miss the beauty, food, and various celebrations at that locale. Plus, think of all of the non-profit and social functions that have occurred over the years. This community desperately needs MORE programs like this, not less! Pierce College Farm has brought joy and education to many families for many years. Please don't get rid of something so vital!!

How does this make any sense to lose such a valuable asset for the future stability of California and its future. yes this will effect many across the board. with so much needed veterinary dr.s in our state it makes no sense to allow this place to close down. There must be a way to stop this from happening!

The Pierce Farm is a positive and natural enhancement for our community. It should stay as it is for our families to enjoy and our college students to have benefit of employment. Whatever is up the sleeve of the sellers, you can bet, has to do with PROFIT motives -- with the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR $$$$$$$. Some already powerful entity, with already more than enough, wants MORE.

This is a great and incredible thing to see in such a populated and modernized part of the city. It's a really great place! Why would shutting it down be a GOOD idea???!!

Save Pierce Farm! This is the last greenery smack in the middle of urban Woodland Hills and has become an institution for all. Please don't take it away just to throw up some more overpriced apartment buildings.

I grew up helping maintain the arboretum, painting pig pens, and learning about sheep sheering at the Pierce Farm. They tried to close it in the 90's and we fought back then, let's save it again! This is a valuable resource. Once the land is developed, it's gone. Pierce College needs to keep it's farm!

This is such a wonderful addition to Woodland Hills and Los Angeles in general and it will be so sad to see it go...not to mention all the jobs and research this will negatively affect if this closes.

The only reason I knew about Pierce College was because of their veterinary program, which is considered one of the best pre-vet programs. Also the farm. The hands on experience students receive is priceless. Please do not destroy it.

This is absolutely unacceptable.
This is a fine program with a wonderful outcome. I know that land is at a premium but there is no higher purpose than agriculture.
The food we eat and the science behind it i.e. GMOs is critical for our and our childrens futures. Please don't bend to the almighty dollar on this.
Please consider what's at stake here and be reasonable.
Reach out to the donor community if you need to make this more profitable but DON'T END IT!
