A petition of Transition Town - All St. Anthony Park

Addressed to Rebecca Cunningham, University of Minnesota President, and the U of M Board of Regents

We, the undersigned, believe that, in the face of climate change, it is time for the University of Minnesota to develop a new plan for the land that the UMN's Les Bolstad Golf Course occupies.  We would like the University to consider alternative uses for this land that are climate-friendly and have educational potential: rewilded prairie or woodlands, a wildlife sanctuary, a nature park with trails, or a combination of these. 

We encourage the University of Minnesota to begin discussions with the community to plan for a transition to a use of this land that is climate-friendly.  (For more information on how this golf course is harming the environment, go to https://www.transitionasap.org/rethinking-a-golf-course
