This week, the UF Board of Trustees holds its quarterly meeting, and if you have not already, now would be a great time to email them with your request to preserve Graham Woods and stop their current plans to cut it all down to make a bigger stormwater pond.
If you are wondering what to say, luckily our friends at Sierra Club posted a blog last month explaining some options. The project is "UF-708" and if you are so inclined, you may also request to comment in person during the Board's Thursday meeting by emailing them at UFBOT@ufl.edu by tomorrow (Tuesday) asking to speak on agenda item FCI1. Any public pressure that brings attention to the need to find alternatives that don't destroy a historic habitat and valued space on campus will be a great contribution to the effort to save Graham Woods for future generations.
Thank you again for helping us reach over 1400 signatures! Your support is making a difference!
