I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about this land because I never thought we would reach2,500 signatures. This momentum belongs to all of you who stepped up to protect our campus spaces. If you could send the link to a few people today we might actually hit that number before the next planning review.

I started this because I was worried about the future of our land but the amount of you who feel the exact same way has completely blown me away. It is humbling to see so many people care about the arboretum and the agriculture program as much as I do. Please keep posting your stories because they are the real reason anyone is starting to pay attention to this.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about the future of our agricultural land and the arboretum. Seeing the numbers climb this high feels surreal because this momentum belongs entirely to your dedication. If we can reach that hundred mark today it will show the university that we are truly serious about this goal.

My kids love visiting the arboretum. It would be a huge mistake to get rid of it.

AG LAND IS FOR GROWING THINGS NOT PARKING LOTS. Leave it alone.

The greenhouses need to be done right if they are moving them. Dont just tear them down and leave us with nothing.

Used to walk by the pines every morning. Really sad to see what they are planning. Please reconsider.

This school is losing its soul with all this new construction. Stop building on good land.
