Petition for the Protection of the Baars-Firestone Wildlife Sanctuary

Alumni

I'm an alumni of UWF and it would be a shame to remove this preserve. The nature trails are wonderful and need to remain. The biology department uses the surrounds wildlife for teaching, as a biology graduate I feel this building will make the education less hands on. How best to learn biology by seeing g and touching it.

UWF was and still is known for the natural landscape and nature preserves. I want to see UWF be known for it's nature, and forests.

think about your beautiful campus. and save the animals!

This area is extremely important to the hiking, running and cycling communities. Please don't ruin a natural resource that benefits the health and wellbeing of the University, the surrounding neighborhoods and the greater Pensacola area outdoors communities.

As an active rider of the trails in the area and an outdoors enthusiast, building things on this land is a very bad idea.

Please do NOT expand into the wildlife sanctuary!

This land should be preserved. To tear it down and build anything over the natural landscape would not only be a slap in the face to all students, residents, and visitors of our area but a slap in the face to the area itself. The land here is beautiful and should be preserved to the highest extent, to do otherwise is downright disgusting.

This is horrible. Please save our beautiful campus.

What kind of place turns a wildlife sanctuary into parking lots? These are the reasons I went elsewhere for school.

Uwf was well known for their wildlife sanctuaries and the University was much more personable and now it is turning into greed derived University where money and politics is dominating the atmosphere.

It's horrible to destroy a donated sanctuary and even worse when it's the one unique thing about our campus.

I am an alumni student who believes anything donated as a sanctuary to the campus should stay that way!

These two families are old Pensacola and loved nature and the outdoors. Let's honor them by protecting this local natural treasure.

thanks! Good luck!

The campus is beautiful and a breath of fresh air to the community It would be a shame and harmful to pave over nature!

It's called a nature preserve... Let's preserve it.

This is a terrible and selfishly driven idea. The nature preserve needs to stay "preserved" as it is meant to. It is not our right to alter the environment just because we feel we can.

Thank you!
