"I did know that there were plans to do some development in the North Woods. However, I was not aware of any specifics or controversies related to the plans. I have to believe that environmental impacts were taken into consideration in the planning and permitting phases of the project. With that said, I also know that the developer, in this case the University, can make the decision to take the high road and put environmental preservation as a first priority. I am disheartened to learn that the University did not take this approach even though they have stated as a Green Campus that "the functioning of natural systems on campus should be both protected and highlighted as a tool for learning...". Not only should you continue with this blog, but I would suggest that you invite key University decision makers as well as state and federal environmental agencies to participate in the discussion."
