President Lindner expressed appreciation for the Foundation’s hard work and dedication to the Parks system.
OLD BUSINESS
Camping and Education Foundation Presentation
Director Kish provided background on the Camping & Education Foundation’s (CEF) partnership with the Park Board and the updated proposal from CEF. She expressed her support for CEF to present the proposal, commenting it would allow the Board to engage in an open dialogue, consider the proposal, and provide a clear directive to staff. She thanked Vice President Goetz for his participation in championing the project.
Vice President Goetz referenced the Cincinnati Urban Wilderness Center (UWC) Project timeline provided to the Board, which outlines the Parks/CEF partnership from 2014 to present. Mr. Goetz highlighted events on the timeline and commented on Board support, public engagement, consultant engagement, and actions related to the UWC project. He described the Park Board’s discussion regarding the UWC in March 2020 and CEF’s continued work on the proposal and on addressing the issues expressed in March. Vice President Goetz introduced Hugh Haller to present the CEF proposal.
Mr. Haller thanked the Park Board for the opportunity to present. He acknowledged and responded to public comments regarding the proposal. Mr. Haller explained the UWC vision for Burnet Woods was to increase youth access to nature through the park. He described CEF’s successes and the preparation that has gone into the UWC project proposal over the last three years including community and consultant engagement, planning sessions, and working closely with Parks staff and Board. He remarked on the differences in opinion over the best use for Burnet Woods. Mr. Haller announced CEF was respectfully withdrawing the proposal from consideration. He thanked former Parks staff Ruthann Spears and Erin Morris, as well as Vice President Goetz.
President Lindner responded to the announcement, expressing agreement with Mr. Haller’s comments on the positive benefits of access to nature and expressed disappointment in the outcome. He commended CEF for their efforts and expressed hope for future partnership.
Commissioner Castellini commented the decision to withdrawal was tragic and felt the few had spoken for many.
2
Commissioner Flynn echoed the comments of Commissioners Lindner and Castellini. He complimented CEF as an organization and expressed hope that vocal opposition would not impact potential for future partnership. He commented there would likely be support for this type of programming in Mt. Airy Forest.
Director Kish commented on the withdrawal of the UWC proposal. She expressed the vision, goals and the creativity of CEF and UC’s DAAP students will be embedded in the future of Parks’ nature programming and serve as a useful tool. She emphasized the importance of having the community as an ally and expressed she will continue to work to activate and champion partnerships and positive community relationships.
Commissioner Thomas expressed her initial excitement for the prospect of the CEF program. She clarified the December 2018 vote to proceed with CEF’s proposal to establish the UWC in Burnet Woods was not unanimous; she explained her vote in opposition was not against the concept, but because she felt the depth of detail in the 2018 proposal was not sufficient to make a decision. She expressed concern regarding her personal unawareness of changes to the proposal and the negative public comments. She expressed gratitude for the work but felt a miss had occurred during the process that lead to the current situation.
Vice President Goetz thanked CEF for their continued work on the UWC project proposal. Mr. Goetz commented on lessons he hoped were learned during this process regarding partnerships, transparency in communications between the Parks Director and Board, staff accountability in executing the directives of the Board, and the underlying issue of a substantive difference in opinion on the vision for Burnet Woods. He suggested the Board address this issue by setting a vision for Burnet Woods. Mr. Goetz expressed gratitude for the Park Board and apologized to CEF for negativity and criticism they have experienced.
President Lindner echoed sentiments expressed by Vice President Goetz regarding the hope to move forward with lessons learned.
Commissioner Thomas thanked Vice President Goetz and emphasized the importance of being reflective on lessons learned as well as acknowledging Board accountability. She commented the Board may not have clearly articulated the value of the project. Ms. Thomas expressed her support for a single Commissioner championing a project, but with full Board support, in working toward a clear desired outcome.
Vice President Goetz agreed with Commissioner Thomas’s sentiments and emphasized the need for staff accountability to engage and produce a plan for the project and carry out the vision of the Board, which he felt was clearly stated in regards to the UWC project.
Director Kish commented the purpose of the CEF presentation on this meeting agenda was to introduce the modified UWC proposal and present to the Board for consideration. She expressed her opinion of a distinct difference between the current UWC proposal and that which had been presented previously, motivating the decision to present it to the Board. She commented on Parks’ commitment to public engagement, the value of public comments, and the importance of partnerships. Ms. Kish acknowledged the public comments received in opposition of the 3 proposal, including a petition sponsored by Preserve Burnet Woods, and felt feedback indicated Parks is not aligned with the community on this project. She listed partners and local groups that expressed opposition to elements of the proposal. Director Kish commented she felt her conversations with community members have been in accordance with her role as Director and have not been misrepresentative the will of the Board. She commented on the reciprocal relationship of staff and Board and the commitment of staff to offer expertise as well as carry out the vision of the Board. She expressed enthusiasm for continuing to work with the Board.
Vice President Goetz responded to Director Kish’s comments, expressing he did not feel she acknowledged lessons learned from this process, specifically regarding partnerships with accusatory groups, conversations and interactions with community members, and the need to voice any opposing professional opinions to the Board first.
President Lindner acknowledged the need for reflection on the process and lessons learned.
FY2022-23 Capital Budget
Director Kish presented adjustments made after discussion of the FY 2022-23 Capital Budget at the December 2 Special meeting and Commissioner comments. She explained all changes have been presented in the board report. She presented major changes including highlighting items associated with the Infrastructure Study in Poor and Fair condition, incorporating Owl’s Nest Shelter demolition in the FY20 budget instead of the FY23 budget, modification of recommended funding for the Sawyer Point parking lot, immediate use funding for concept designs for the operations center relocation, and listing roadway restoration as an Exception.
Director Kish highlighted items recommended by staff despite Commissioner comments, including design plans for the Mt. Airy Arboretum and Kennedy Heights. She commented on the role of the budget to contribute to both items identified in the infrastructure study as well as opportunities for developing current assets.
Ms. Kish introduced Steve Schuckman to present new attachments which answer Commissioner questions regarding recent spending of Capital dollars. He presented the Capital dollars spent since 2013 and all available Capital funding.
Director Kish explained any comments or feedback would be included in the budget submission on December 17th or 18th.
President Lindner commented cost is not necessarily indicative of amount of work expended on a project.
Craig Sherman confirmed the balance of the PNC account at the request of Commissioner Castellini.
Commissioner Thomas asked what percentage of Poor rated items from the Infrastructure Study are addressed in the proposed budget and Cindy France and Steve Schuckman estimated about
4
40%. Ms. Thomas asked for an assessment of future rate of Capital spending based on the established pattern since 2013.
Mr. Schuckman highlighted the next steps in the Capital budget discussion as Parks learns what will actually be distributed.
Commissioner Flynn expressed his appreciation for staff’s work to address Commissioner comments and commented on the need to increase compliance with ADA requirements. Vice President Goetz echoed sentiments of appreciation for staff’s consideration and use of Commissioner feedback on the Capital budget.
Commissioner Flynn motioned to approve the recommended FY 2022 and FY 2023 Capital Budgets. Vice President Goetz seconded. The motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
ODNR Boating and Infrastructure Grant
Director Kish announced the City Solicitor’s office will be actively working with Queen City Riverboats (QCR) representation to progress the public marina project. She explained a decision will need to be made on how to proceed with the previous request to extend the $1.5 million ODNR grant. Director Kish asked for the Board’s permission to contact ODNR to thank them for assistance, inform them Parks will no longer be seeking the extension, and request a waiver of the $211,000 previously distributed since a public marina will still be constructed.
Commissioner Flynn expressed his support for Director Kish’s recommendation, offered suggestion for the waiver request, and emphasized the cost savings with the new approach.
Existing City funding and additional funding sources from the Fire Department were discussed.
Commissioners Lindner and Goetz thanked Commissioner Flynn for his work in championing this project. The timeline was discussed.
Commissioenr Castellini asked if staff approved of the proposed location of the marina. Director Kish expressed satisfaction that a solution had been found which addressed the Board’s concerns, and staff are familiar with the site and will help bring the proposal along with the City.
Commissioner Castellini asked if public engagement was needed for the marina proposal. Director Kish explained the necessity of an RFQ/RFP is being determined and explained the boat dock is within the Master Plan for Smale Riverfront Park. Mr. Schuckman commented past discussions regarding the transient boat dock’s location have been done in a public setting.
Available funding for the public marina was discussed.
Vice President Goetz reiterated Commissioner Castellini’s question and asked about the need for feedback regarding the location. Director Kish explained staff have not engaged the public specifically for the location since it was the preferred location of the vendor chosen for this public-private partnership. 5
B&B Riverboat’s opposition to the proposed location was discussed as well as the reason for choosing the Public Landing location. Commissioner Flynn explained the QCR proposal can only be fulfilled by this single vendor because of what they offer to the project. Commissioner Castellini expressed support but emphasized the need to clearly communicate this to the public and allow comment.
Director Kish stated she will receive direction from the City Solicitor’s office on how to navigate the process.
Commissioner Flynn motioned to support the withdrawal of the ODNR grant extension request. Commissioner Castellini seconded. The motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
Division of Natural Resources Update
Director Kish introduced Crystal Courtney and the update on the Division of Natural Resources.
Ms. Courtney provided updates on each section within the Division of Natural Resources. She described changes to staff and structure within Urban Forestry, including the promotion of Robin Hunt to Supervisor of Urban Forestry, as well as provided an update on the Urban Tree Canopy Assessment. She provided an update on Conservation and Land Management including the invasive species removal contract in Burnet Woods. She explained programming adaptations within Explore Nature! in light of COVID-19. Ms. Courtney described the success of the Greenspace team after returning from furlough.
The Business Improvement Program and flowerpot program were discussed.
Commissioner Flynn suggested adding Natural Resources updates and data to the website.
NEW BUSINESS
Urban Forestry 2022 Street Tree Assessment
Crystal Courtney presented the proposed Urban Forestry Street Tree Program Assessment budget for 2022. She commented this would be the second year Parks is realizing the benefit of having a GIS Analyst on staff. Ms. Courtney explained the assessment rate will continue at $.21 per linear foot. She highlighted changes to the budget including staff changes and half of the salaries of the Natural Resources Division Manager and GIS Analyst being funding from the Urban Forestry Fund 792. Plans for capital equipment replacement and additions as well as catching up on preventative maintenance was discussed. Ms. Courtney announced the increase of street trees planted by 25% and remarked on contracts that will need to be rebid this year.
Commissioners Castellini and Goetz expressed their gratitude for the Urban Forestry team’s work.
6
Director Kish stated the staff recommendation requesting the Board to recommend to the City Council a funding level for the 2022 assessment, at $0.21 per front foot, for a budget of $2.4 million.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing on behalf of the University of Cincinnati’s Students for Burnet Woods (UCSBW). We are a student organized group of individuals who stand for the University’s protection and promotion of our backyard park, Burnet Woods. We were founded out of a building proposal by Cincinnati Cultural Arts Center (CCAC) back in 2018. Students of the University came together to oppose construction in Burnet Woods. From this point on, we decided that our voice should be heard in future discussions of any type of building proposal to the park. Therefore, I’d like to say some words on behalf of UCSBW about a new proposal by the Camping and Education foundation (CEF). I had the opportunity to watch the presentation, Urban Explorers in Burnet Woods, along with Park board staff and commissioners. The university’s students at DAAP put together a wonderful catalogue of ideas for the park space that was nothing short of fantastic work. That does not mean they are the only voice at UC, when my student group (UCSBW), and many others associated with the university, oppose private development in the park. In uptown’s last remaining intact greenspace, we are focused on leaving the park untouched in terms of construction. With this being said, building in the park will drive away all that makes Burnet Woods unique to the Clifton and UC students. The intrinsic value of the park to its community and UCSBW is much greater than a building proposal by CEF. The city of Cincinnati should take the opportunity to promote, celebrate, and most importantly, preserve this historical and special green oasis that is Burnet Woods. If any questions arise please feel free to contact me. I hope our voice will be taken into great consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely, Emilia DiBiasio UCSBW President & co founder

Dear Commissioners,
I am writing you to express my support for the proposed and needed updates to Burnett Woods. Despite the opposition of a small group of passionate individuals, the Clifton, University, and greater Cincinnati community deserve a park that meets the civic and environmental educational needs of our community.
The "Preserve Burnett Woods" has a long and troubling history of misrepresenting community interests and priorities. They use unfounded accusations of racism, transphobia, and homophobia to forward their cause. Their portrayal of the Clifton Cultural Arts Center as transphobic and the Educational Center as racist misappropriate minority identities to forward their cause.
As a former Clifton Community Council attendee over several years, their leadership is out of touch with the constituents they claim to serve. Their track record of exclusion and disruption to the public good is damaging to the Park Board's mission. I hope that you will discard the misleading and fraudulent claims of the "Preserve Burnett Woods" coalition and vote to make the park better for our community.
To be clear. I am not associated with any party, just a concerned citizen tired of seeing this special interest group clog the gears of our city's work.
Best,
Zak Lempert

We have received no further communication nor invitation from The Camping and Education Foundation for consultation from the local Native American Community. We are aware of the problematic nature of their programs in Minnesota and have been in touch with reservations and tribal members from communities where these camps are located. Because of this, we feel that we cannot support any proposal currently by CAT without holding this new proposal to the same thorough standard of community engagement, and feedback that was required of prior development proposals in the past. Any representation of Native cultures must be done with the guidance of local Native American Organizations, Community Leaders, and The endorsement of the Shawnee of Oklahoma. We do not support any movement forward without these steps.

Dear Commissioners:
The MOU between the Camping and Educa on Founda on (CEF) and Cincinna Parks states as item F in the recitals, “…, the Cincinna Park Board desires to design and construct and addi on to and renova on of Trailside, …”. If the Camping and Educa onal Founda on had followed through on this recital, it would have been a win- win solu on for both Parks and the Founda on. They would have space near the Burnet Woods lake for their canoe instruc on and Parks would have had Trailside renovated and ADA accessible which it sorely needs. The integrity of Burnet Woods would be intact. It would be expensive, there is no ques on about that, but that is what CEF was taking on by signing this memorandum.
In the latest version of the CEF proposal, the Trailside objec ve is not addressed at all. Instead they are proposing a new construc on across the pathway from Trailside. This leaves Parks with the responsibility of renova ng Trailside. In addi on, it takes up space in the park and benefits only a very small por on of the Cincinna popula on (and not the general public as is the tradi onal audience for park improvements). A similar (though a lot larger) project was turned down when CAC’s building project was rejected. Like that project, these buildings cut down on the open green space which the park is known for and just adds to the clu er. Like the CAC’s building, this too should be rejected.
I had not heard of previous presenta ons of this new proposal before tonight’s Cli on town mee ng. Are presenta ons going to be made to the other town councils that are in the neighborhood of the park (the park is actually in Corryville and not Cli on, as you know). How about a board mee ng that allowed for extensive community and city input (it is a er all a city park) about the final plans for design and usage of the CEF buildings? I would urge you to hold such mee ng before a final approval vote is taken on the proposal. I think you will be surprised at the amount of opposi on there is against it.

To whom it may concern, I find the latest round of proposals to build a new building for CEF in Burnet Woods clearly, and shockingly, against community interest. The last several years have made it very clear that the community does not want a new building in what is left of Burnet woods. What on earth is the Park board doing??!!

Please see attachment. Board of Park Commissioners and Parks Director: December 8, 2020
I have lived in Clifton, and been an almost daily user of Burnet Woods, for almost 50 years. I attended (virtually) last night’s Clifton Town Meeting, which included presentations by Kara Kish and Jim Goetz regarding the latest proposal to allow a third party to build its own building in Burnet Woods. While there have been past attempts to allow private development in Burnett Woods over the decades (e.g., library, restaurants, CCAC), this will be the third attempt of the Camping and Education (CEF”), your Board, and Parks Administration to allow CEF to build its own private building Burnet Woods (although the form and details shift and drift).
Many of the virtual attendees were shocked that this latest plan is so far along and will be voted on by the Board in its December meeting without actual community consideration or transparent disclosure. Perhaps some information was shared with some CPACS or BPACS or individuals, but they are not the community. It is this type of furtive, nontransparent dealing that has given rise to a lack of faith and trust in Parks and the Board. If you look back at the earlier CEF and CCAC sequences, this criticism is made repeatedly; yet the behavior continues. Comments of Parks/Board indicate that the latest project is considered not to be subject to any engagement or review with the Burnet Woods communities. Yet these communities and all members of the public are those you ethically are bound to consider in your stewardship of their parks.
Going back the attempted library in BW, the proposed restaurants and other developer proposals, the CCAC proposal, and the first two (to my knowledge) CEF proposals, you have ample data showing that the Burnet Woods communities vehemently assert and reassert longstanding opposition to allowing third parties to build in BW; so I will not repeat the many, many well-reasoned objections voiced in the past.
The current proposal merits most if not all of those objections. More egregiously, this proposal would actually cut into a wooded hillside to home CEF. Mr. Goetz says the current proposed development is so small that he is surprised anyone is even commenting—well BW is not that big and the body of water is more pond than lake; so the impact of CEF’s improvements is not small. And given the longstanding objections to private building in BW, the matter is huge. It also has been suggested that this latest proposal won’t interfere with the lake/pond view--another misleading statement as the building will enter into the sight line and the three strange circular things right in front of the “lake” are apparently tall enough to intrude upon this valued view.
Mr. Goetz is adamant that the Board will partner with CEF. Public opposition is not to CEF, nor to its programming, nor to a partnership; the opposition is to the building. We constantly hear CEF Haller’s “it is all about the kids” statements. We want to support kids--underserved, served and all kids. Most or all of us welcome the addition of more programming for kids and analysis of what prevents that from happening and how can we remove those obstacles for kids generally. We take issue, however, with your belief that programming requires a third party building (also one that is private). CEF programming does not require building in BW. If proximity to BW and its pond is so essential to CEF programs, why not look into property along that side of Bishop—there appear to be lots of sufficient size to house CEF.
CEF programming in BW would be a good addition to Parks programming, but I don’t agree that CEF’s programs are the only way of serving the nature needs, and developmental needs, of underserved kids. So I don’t see CEF or its programs as so essential and unique as to justify jettisoning the longstanding community belief that third party buildings do not fit in BW (for many reasons: the attributes that make BW unlike other parks, its size and the many other reasons cited over and over in the past).
It is not clear what BW gets in return for making this major change in its history of refusing to provide homes for third parties in its acreage. Mr. Goetz cites only the partnership with CEF and the savings of some $70.000 alleged maintenance costs for the concession stand (but no proof was offered that Parks has budgeted for that expense or otherwise done anything to make the CEF buildings or partnership result in any actual financial gain.
After last night’s comments by your representatives, I fear the door is closed to the public in your dealings. But I hope you will review fully and sincerely the concerns of the public raised over the past decades in opposition to allowing third party homebuilding in BW.

Tue 12/8/2020 9:19 PM To: Parks, Cincy
Good evening,
I am writing you as a citizen of Cincinnati and an avid user of Hamilton county’s parks system. I live in the Liberty Hill area but make frequent use of Burnet Woods for hiking, running, and wildlife photography.
It has come to my attention that there is a new development proposal that aims to build additional facilities on the property. I would like to make it known that I wholeheartedly reject this proposal and any further development on the existing space. Burnet Woods is a valuable natural habitat and migration space for wildlife, not to mention one of our city’s treasured green spaces that citizens rely on for recreation. Encroaching on that space with further development would only degrade it. Furthermore, this represents an intrusion into a public natural habitat by a public foundation.
I urge you to reconsider and reject this proposal. The people of this city deserve a voice as to how their public green spaces are used, and this proposal is a major misstep for the parks department.

Dear Members of Cincinnati Board of Parks Commissioners (Brad Lindner, James Goetz, Linda Castellini, Linda Lee Thomas, and Kevin Flynn) My name is Cathy Wagner and I am a resident of Cincinnati and a member/supporter of the Metro Cincinnati Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) branch. I am writing to you to express concern over the proposed plans to allow a private organization, The Camping Education Foundation (CEF), to develop in Burnet Woods. Members of the DSA were aware of the original plans in 2018, and were vocal about their opposition to private development in the park at that time. As a DSA member, I share Preserve Burnet Woods and the Clifton community’s concerns about the environmental impact of the proposed development. I am also deeply troubled by the implications of a private organization building on public resources. It is disheartening to realize that the overwhelming community feedback that was provided in 2018 must be restated. I urge you to stay true to the mission of Cincinnati Parks to conserve and maintain our public natural resources and protect what we have for future generations. Please vote against this proposed development against our unique urban forests. Thank you, Cathy [External Email] Development proposal from Burnet Woods

Dear Members of Cincinnati Board of Parks Commissioners,
My name is Liza Newman and I live in Columbia-Tusculum. I am also a huge nature person, birder, and hiker. I use Burnet Woods often, among so many other of our City's parks.
I understand that on December 17, the Board will consider a proposal by the Camping and Education Foundation (CEF)--a private organization--to create a standalone building within Burnet Woods, a public park.
I write to oppose this new private construction in Burnet Woods as a detriment to the important ecological habitat of the park and as an unnecessary invasion of private interest on vital urban greenspace. To be clear, I have no opposition to expanded programming in Burnet Woods--only for the loss of natural habitat, and to the private annexation of public space in Cincinnati. It is also concerning that the community seems unanimously against this proposal, yet they have not been kept fully informed, nor have they been consulted. Ostensibly the park and its resources are for the community, so this seems like a big misstep..
I urge you to stay true to the mission of Cincinnati Parks to conserve and maintain our public natural resources and protect what we have for future generations. Tearing down habitat to construct buildings does not advance that mission. Please vote against this proposed development . Thank you for your consideration.

Hello Board of Park Comissioners,
My name is Chelsea Ker, I am a fourth year student at the University of Cincinnati studying chemical engineering.
It had a been brought to my attention that on December 17th you will be voting on a proposal to develop Burnet Woods.
As a citizen of the Clifton Heights area I would strongly urge you to vote no on this proposal.
Burnet Woods is a gem. With plenty of walking trails, playgrounds, Frisbee Golf, the pond, and the nature shelter. How many other places in Cincinnati can you walk down the street, then only 5 minutes later you’re completely surrounded by woods with not another person in site. Burnet Woods is a beautiful urban park.
It’s been a refuge to me during COVID-19 to be able to get out into nature, play frisbee golf, and hike. It would be a shame if the integrity of this park were comprised as well as all the beautiful plants and animals in it.
I’ve attached a picture of me and boyfriend after a game of Frisbee Golf and our friend and his dog enjoying the park. Just to show you how much this park means to the people who live here.
Thank you for your time,

To whom it may concern,
I strongly oppose the proposal of the Camping and Education Foundation to construct a new building in our neighborhood park. I live one block from this park and spend time in it every week. It is a gem of the city and has already been reduced in size considerably by annexes to the University of Cincinnati and the construction of Martin Luther King Drive. In addition to serving as a critical outdoor space for Clifton's human residents, this park is also recognized as an important bird area by the Audubon Society (https://www.audubon.org/important-bird-areas/burnet-woods). This is not an appropriate place for a new, private construction.
Sincerely,
Brooke Crowley

Good Morning Cincy Parks Team,
It has once again to come to my a en on, and the a en on to those in the Cli on/Gaslight community that there is yet another push to develop in Burne Woods. While this is disappoin ng, it is by no means surprising as where there is money to be made, you'll typically find an effort by a few people to make decisions that would nega vely impact the larger community.
It is difficult to find words that haven't already been said about the importance or Burne Woods in regard to the health of our community here is Cli on, but I also want the mental health of patrons and students to be considered. Through the pandemic Burne Woods has served as a place for people to get away, spend me safely with family and friends, and be reminded of the importance of community and nature. Only talking about us humans would also be a miss as you know Burne also provides a home for a large por on of wildlife.
It's simple – Let's stop a acking things that are sacred to our communi es for the benefit of the few. Burne Woods makes our city unique, it makes our community healthier, and it provides refuge for nature in the bound of our city.

It is appalling to me that after all the public meetings, all the efforts the community went to be an integral partner with the park board and Burnet Woods, that this new proposal would be allowed to slide through, upending all the master plan work, and be even considered seriously, let alone considered as a highly possible contender.
I am a tax-paying citizen who uses, supports, and believes in Cincinnati Parks and the park employees. But I am very disappointed in and frankly quite cynical of those who are making the decisions. In the current political climate, and with the corruption we are seeing every day in the headlines, I am encouraging all of my contacts to speak out, and look for a change in the process and potentially the decision-makers.

To Whom it May Concern:
Please do not allow further development of Brunet Woods. Once green spaces are developed they rarely, if ever, are returned to their natural state. We are lucky to have such a large park in such a central location in the city and we should focus on preserving it's natural beauty and optimizing it's current resources. The Trailside Nature Center has been under-utilized for years. Why not focus on the building that already exists in the park instead of allowing a private, outside group to permanently convert natural space? If given the opportunity to develop this park land, an outside group won't necessarily have the citizens' best interests in mind when making decisions. Please use your power to protect Burnet Woods' natural land and to focus on the many resources Burnet Woods already has to enhance it's recreational and education benefits.

Dear Sir or Madam,
As a member of the Clifton/UC community, I'd like to express my disagreement on a new, private construction in Burnet Woods. The Camping and Education Foundation is a private entity, whose interests are opposite to the community needs of urban greenspace, and contradicts previous commitments. I believe there are ZERO benefits of such a project to the community. On the contrary, Burnet Woods is the only access to nature that numerous non-driver students can access around UC. It is a fact that diminishing their access to nature by spoiling BW with a new construction will directly impact their wellbeing and reduce their ways to cope in those trying and stressful times.
Best Regards, Maxime Lafond, Ph.D.

Ann Hubbard Thu 12/10/2020 10:59 AM To: Parks, Cincy

Dear Cincinnati Park Board,
Careful studies have proved the importance of Burnet Woods as an urban stopover for migratory birds. The Audubon Society has named it a special category IBA (important bird area) because of its contribution to migratory ecology. Both its location and its blend of resources (mature trees, scrub areas, pond) make it a critical area where migratory birds restore themselves for their long flights. Compromising this valued resource could have long-term negative consequences for both migratory and native species.
Burnet Woods' neighbors know and value the park's ecological importance. They have an ongoing volunteer invasives removal project, eradicating honeysuckle and other invasive plants that crowd out the native plants that sustain wildlife. I hope the Park Board will value their efforts as well as the ecological importance of Burnet Woods as you consider a major construction project there. There is vacant land on Bishop Road, which runs alongside the park. Maybe one of those sites would be better for the CEF. Or other Park-owned land with less ecological significance for native and migratory birds. Or take another look at upgrading the existing nature education center.
The Clifton Cultural Arts Center found a satisfactory home near to, but not within, Burnet Woods. Surely the CEF can do the same. I am concerned that public participation in this project has been hindered by a lack of detailed information about the scope and design of the project, the extent and availability of environmental remediation efforts, and the careful consideration of existing buildings or alternative locations for the CEF.
Please listen to the neighborhood groups who oppose this development.
Sincerely, Ann Hubbard

Hello,
My name is Claudia Neff. I am a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, and I have lived across from Burnet Woods for two years. This park has become one of the only places where my friends and I can gather at a safe distance during the pandemic. It is also one of Clifton’s only remaining green spaces that is accessible for UC students who don’t have cars. Parents use this park to enrich their children’s young lives. The community relies on this park for relaxation (away from the bustle of our busy neighborhood) and recreation. To develop Burnet Woods would be a major disservice to Clifton’s current and future residents.

I am writing to you to express concern over the proposed plans to allow a private organization, The Camping Education Foundation (CEF), to develop in Burnet Woods. Members of the DSA were aware of the original plans in 2018, and were vocal about their opposition to private development in the park at that time. As a DSA member, I share Preserve Burnet Woods and the Clifton community’s concerns about the environmental impact of the proposed development. I am also deeply troubled by the implications of a private organization building on public resources. It is disheartening to realize that the overwhelming community feedback that was provided in 2018 must be restated. I urge you to stay true to the mission of Cincinnati Parks to conserve and maintain our public natural resources and protect what we have for future generations.

Cincinnati, OH 45220 December 10, 2020 To whom it may concern: In September 2019, the Cincinnati Park Board signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Camping and Education Foundation (CEF), with the stated purpose “…to design and construct an addition to and renovation of Trailside while improving and increasing programming and operations on the Property.” Since then, three meetings were held in January, March & April of 2020 in which, as I understand, the renovation of Trailside to add space for CEF was still the matter under discussion. Then, on October 30, 2020, UC DAAP students present “their work from the spring, summer and fall sessions in their Urban Explorers in Burnet Woods presentation to Park Staff, CEF, the Park Board members and community members. This contingent expressed disbelief and disagreement with this vastly changed proposal. On approximately December 4, PBW became aware that a member of the Cincinnati Parks Board planned to present the revised proposal to Clifton Town Meeting (CTM) at their usual monthly meeting on Dec. 7. Per the CTM website, there were 5 minutes allotted for the Park Board presentation. Somewhere around Dec 3, 4 or 5, a Park Board member requested a 30 minute slot to present new plans for a CEF building in Burnet Woods, and 3 or 4 Park Board documents were shared to CTM committee members. These were not widely available to the public except via a Nextdoor thread that contained links provided by PBW. On Dec. 7, over 60 citizens attended the CTM meeting virtually. When the Park Board time slot was opened, there was no presentation of these plans, but it was obvious that most folks on the call had seen or heard about them. The Park Board member was asked to comment on the major change of “proposed” plans, lack of any work to upgrade the Trailside Nature Center, impact on the essence and environmental quality of Burnet Woods, availability of community access to the proposed facility, why the cooperative project with CEF was of such value to Burnet Woods, why a student designed proposal appeared to be the plan selected by the Park Board, and so on. A 30 minute extension to the “presentation time” was allowed when the usual end time of the meeting approached. At the end of the meeting, members of CTM voted unanimously (with one abstention) to Not Support this proposal for Burnet Woods. In the hundreds of spoken and written comments of attendees, there was not a single positive statement with respect to this proposal. The Park Board member repeatedly stated that the Park Board will vote on this plan on December 17, presumably without further public presentation or comments. The statements of the Park Board member indicated that the vote would be affirmative, and that the opinions of the community were not of consequence in the decision. The building concept has not been released by Cincinnati Parks or CEF for public view or feedback, nor have any of the public stakeholders been engaged for feedback. Surrounding community organizations have not been engaged for feedback on this proposal. Attendance and comments at the December 7 Clifton Town Meeting did not include a presentation of the plans, although it was clear that most on the call had some knowledge of the proposed site of the stand-alone CEF structure. I also challenge the legality of proceeding when the existing MOU states vastly different plans. There is no longer the benefit of improvements to the existing community facility. I am not opposed to new programs in Cincinnati Parks, especially those with the purpose of furthering the youth appreciation and understanding of nature and environmental issues. I don’t understand why this private enterprise, while having a noble mission, is being given carte blanche to build a structure that will not benefit current users of Burnet Woods. I’ll grant that it will invite urban youth of diverse cultures to explore nature, which is a positive benefit to Cincinnati as a whole. However, it does not seem to be intended to make Burnet Woods a more inviting space for the nearby communities. Furthermore, the proposed design is not in keeping with the architectural history of Cincinnati Parks (see https://www.modernnati.com/single-post/2018/05/17/parkitect-carl-freund-and-organic- modernism-in-cincinnati-s-public-landscape). At a minimum, the design of such a visible structure should align more closely to that of the Trailside Nature Center. This is not the first time publicly supported opinions about changes and maintenance in Burnet Woods have been ignored. In fact, one major skirmish with the Park Board resulted in a wave of volunteerism and fund-raising for Burnet Woods improvements. I know some of the principles of two of the resulting organizations. I have heard that many minor proposed improvements to under-maintained areas of the park have been disapproved and have been rejected even with the offer of being self-funded. Nevertheless, many valuable improvements, programs and regular cleanup activities have occurred. These demonstrate the communities’ interest and dedication to safe and pleasant experiences in this park. All of these factors lead me to believe the Cincinnati Park Board and/or the Mayor himself has unstated intentions for the future of Burnet Woods. At this point, there is barely a pretension of gathering public support for this major project. So I ask “Who does the Park Board serve?” Is it the community of Cincinnati Park users and supporters? It does not appear to be the case. At a minimum, I ask that the Cincinnati Park Board step back from its aggressive timeline for approval and actually listen to the users and public advocates for Burnet Woods.

All of these factors lead me to believe the Cincinnati Park Board and/or the Mayor himself has unstated intentions for the future of Burnet Woods. At this point, there is barely a pretension of gathering public support for this major project. So I ask “Who does the Park Board serve?” Is it the community of Cincinnati Park users and supporters? It does not appear to be the case.
At a minimum, I ask that the Cincinnati Park Board step back from its aggressive timeline for approval and actually listen to the users and public advocates for Burnet Woods.

[External Email] Proposed Building in Burnet Woods

Cincinnati, OH 45220 December 10, 2020 To whom it may concern: In September 2019, the Cincinnati Park Board signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Camping and Education Foundation (CEF), with the stated purpose “…to design and construct an addition to and renovation of Trailside while improving and increasing programming and operations on the Property.” Since then, three meetings were held in January, March & April of 2020 in which, as I understand, the renovation of Trailside to add space for CEF was still the matter under discussion. Then, on October 30, 2020, UC DAAP students present “their work from the spring, summer and fall sessions in their Urban Explorers in Burnet Woods presentation to Park Staff, CEF, the Park Board members and community members. This contingent expressed disbelief and disagreement with this vastly changed proposal. On approximately December 4, PBW became aware that a member of the Cincinnati Parks Board planned to present the revised proposal to Clifton Town Meeting (CTM) at their usual monthly meeting on Dec. 7. Per the CTM website, there were 5 minutes allotted for the Park Board presentation. Somewhere around Dec 3, 4 or 5, a Park Board member requested a 30 minute slot to present new plans for a CEF building in Burnet Woods, and 3 or 4 Park Board documents were shared to CTM committee members. These were not widely available to the public except via a Nextdoor thread that contained links provided by PBW. On Dec. 7, over 60 citizens attended the CTM meeting virtually. When the Park Board time slot was opened, there was no presentation of these plans, but it was obvious that most folks on the call had seen or heard about them. The Park Board member was asked to comment on the major change of “proposed” plans, lack of any work to upgrade the Trailside Nature Center, impact on the essence and environmental quality of Burnet Woods, availability of community access to the proposed facility, why the cooperative project with CEF was of such value to Burnet Woods, why a student designed proposal appeared to be the plan selected by the Park Board, and so on. A 30 minute extension to the “presentation time” was allowed when the usual end time of the meeting approached. At the end of the meeting, members of CTM voted unanimously (with one abstention) to Not Support this proposal for Burnet Woods. In the hundreds of spoken and written comments of attendees, there was not a single positive statement with respect to this proposal. The Park Board member repeatedly stated that the Park Board will vote on this plan on December 17, presumably without further public presentation or comments. The statements of the Park Board member indicated that the vote would be affirmative, and that the opinions of the community were not of consequence in the decision. The building concept has not been released by Cincinnati Parks or CEF for public view or feedback, nor have any of the public stakeholders been engaged for feedback. Surrounding community organizations have not been engaged for feedback on this proposal. Attendance and comments at the December 7 Clifton Town Meeting did not include a presentation of the plans, although it was clear that most on the call had some knowledge of the proposed site of the stand-alone CEF structure. I also challenge the legality of proceeding when the existing MOU states vastly different plans. There is no longer the benefit of improvements to the existing community facility. I am not opposed to new programs in Cincinnati Parks, especially those with the purpose of furthering the youth appreciation and understanding of nature and environmental issues. I don’t understand why this private enterprise, while having a noble mission, is being given carte blanche to build a structure that will not benefit current users of Burnet Woods. I’ll grant that it will invite urban youth of diverse cultures to explore nature, which is a positive benefit to Cincinnati as a whole. However, it does not seem to be intended to make Burnet Woods a more inviting space for the nearby communities. Furthermore, the proposed design is not in keeping with the architectural history of Cincinnati Parks (see https://www.modernnati.com/single-post/2018/05/17/parkitect-carl-freund-and-organic-modernism-in-cincinnati-s-public-landscape). At a minimum, the design of such a visible structure should align more closely to that of the Trailside Nature Center. This is not the first time publicly supported opinions about changes and maintenance in Burnet Woods have been ignored. In fact, one major skirmish with the Park Board resulted in a wave of volunteerism and fund-raising for Burnet Woods improvements. I know some of the principles of two of the resulting organizations. I have heard that many minor proposed improvements to under-maintained areas of the park have been disapproved and have been rejected even with the offer of being self-funded. Nevertheless, many valuable improvements, programs and regular cleanup activities have occurred. These demonstrate the communities’ interest and dedication to safe and pleasant experiences in this park. All of these factors lead me to believe the Cincinnati Park Board and/or the Mayor himself has unstated intentions for the future of Burnet Woods. At this point, there is barely a pretension of gathering public support for this major project. So I ask “Who does the Park Board serve?” Is it the community of Cincinnati Park users and supporters?

Dear members of the Cincinnati Board of Parks Commissioners (Brad Lindner, James Goetz, Linda Castellini, Linda Lee Thomas, and Kevin Flynn):
My name is Sara Keebler and I am a resident of Cincinnati and a member of the Cincinnati DSA chapter. I am writing to you to express concern over the proposed plan to allow a private organization, The Camping Education Foundation (CEF), to develop in Burnett Woods.
Members of the DSA were aware of the original plans in 2018, and were vocal about our opposition to private development at that time. As a DSA member I share Preserve Burnett Woods and Clifton community's concerns over the environmental impact of the proposed development. I am deeply troubled by the implications of a private organization building on public resources. It is disheartening that the overwhelming community feedback given in 2018 must be reiterated.
I urge you to stay true to the mission of Cincinnati Parks to conserve and maintain our public natural resources and protect what we have for future generations. Please vote against this development proposal and save what's left of our green spaces to be enjoyed by all.

Burnet Woods is a public park that is used to the fullest by the residents of Cincinnati. It is cared for by many volunteers giving their time, energy, and money to enable this use. It is unacceptable for an organization from another state to use up valuable space that is used by our community. This is a small park in a highly populated area with little green space. We don’t need more bricks and mortar.

Please reconsider your thoughts on allowing a Private entity (or any other for that matter) to build a structure within Burnet Woods which would detract from it's green space and cause a loss of habitat. That small space is extremely important to the area that surrounds it and beyond. Losing any of it would be a great loss. I have many fond memories of spending time there as a child with my family, as I'm sure others do also. It also serves as a sanctuary of peace for those in need of a little solitude to escape their everyday grind at school, from nearby hospitals and local neighborhoods.

I am enraged that Burnet Woods is valued so little by people that we are always choosing to destroy its beauty in the name of the city making a buck.

I read through the CEF website today and can see no justification for their building request in Burnet Woods. Frankly the website gives no accountable person or persons, no detailed plan of action, no documents indicating robustness of organization. It appears to me to be a "one man show" with perhaps good intentions but no consideration for the urban people who actually live right next to their proposed building/activity site. The Park Boards willingness to even consider approving this project is more than disappointing. It is short sighted and disrespectful of the people of Cincinnati. BW "lake" - really a pond - is no match for several canoes and the ugliness this building would bring to a currently pleasant, peaceful location should not be given consideration.
I am opposed to the request and deeply disappointed in the Park Board moving it forward.

To Whom It May Concern:
The false economics of environmental degradation continues to drive ill-advised policy. Bird life in our country and our hemisphere is today disappearng at an alarming rate. We need to step up our game rather than turn a blind eye. Besides being inherently beautiful and fascinating birds are indicators of ecosystem health. Burnet Woods is an Audubon designated Important Birding Area and should be left alone. Many members of our community enjoy this park as-is, for what it is, an unadulterated ecological gem.

Dear Members of Cincinnati Board of Parks Commissioners (Brad Lindner, James Goetz, Linda Castellini, Linda Lee Thomas, and Kevin Flynn)
I am a resident of Cincinnati, an employee at the University of Cincinnati, and a regular volunteer for Preserve Burnet Woods. I am writing to express my deep concerns about the proposed plan of collaboration with the private organization, Camping & Education Foundation (CEF), to develop within Burnet Woods.
1. My first concern is with the Camping & Education Foundation’s mission. I am troubled by the CEF’s cultural appropriation of indigedeous culture in their branding and plan to initiative an urban outreach program with no evidence of community consultation, representation, or leadership. 2. Even if the CEF was a perfect organization and demonstrated that they would bring undeniable good to the community, I would still have serious concerns about the precedence set by allowing private organizations to build on a public resource. Our public land and resources should be protected for all citizens of Cincinnati. When we allow private organizations to utilize our resources, even if they are generously offering to fund the development, they become private stakeholders in a system that should only be beholden to the public interests. Even a nonprofit organization, like CEF, has a primary responsibility to its mission and donors, and is not answerable to community needs and concerns. 3. Finally, and this is the concern I hope every member of the board holds close to their hearts, I am concerned about the negative environmental impact of these plans. We are in a time of ecological crisis. We have overdeveloped. If this pandemic has illustrated anything, we can connect and learn in so many ways outside of gathering in a building. Nature is irreplaceable, and we need to stop “nickel and diming” our most precious resources. Smarter people than myself can speak more to how concerning the CEF development plan is from an ecological perspective. I ask that you please listen to them.
When I first moved to Cincinnati 5 years ago, I got to know the city through our beautiful parks. I love our parks so much, I know you all must feel the same or else you wouldn’t be reading this. I urge you to stay true to the mission of Cincinnati Parks to conserve and maintain our public natural resources and protect what we have for future generations.
With hope, Elise

Dear Cincy Parks,
I’m proud to be an immigrant to Cincinna , and I’ve especially rejoiced in the lush solace of Burnet Woods. I needn’t remind you who know our parks best that this is one of our last remaining old-growth forest, and a hotspot for migra ng birds. Despite being ny in comparison to other parks like Mt Airy, Burnet Woods harbours more avian life than any other place within the city of Cincinna , to say nothing of other fauna and flora.
Please preserve this small lung of the city. An old-growth forest like this is a precious relic in a growing city like ours. The amount of construc on and ac vity that happens right now at Burnet Woods, and all the surrounding construc on, is already taking a toll on its wildlife. Please do not allow any further private development at Burnet Woods.
I’m a big fan of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s saying: we did not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we are borrowing it from our children. Let’s preserve our precious green and wild life.

Dear City Council Members,
I am writing to beg you to leave our park alone. There is already a building on the premises of Burnet Woods that is terribly underutilized. There is no need for private construction in this area. The lake at Burnet Woods is far too small for any canoeing activity, and it would take away from the fishing experience that so many enjoy regularly. Another building in the park would not serve the people of the community and their needs. Please consider funding other projects like those to provide aid to those experiencing homelessness, projects that would actually benefit the community.

Dear CINCINNATI PARK BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Attn. Commissioner Goetz:
It was brought to my attention that the park is planning on moving forward in removing the WPA Concession Stand with plans to replace it with a building for the CEF, Camping and Education Foundation.
I welcome the idea of the CEF building in the park. I even love the plans for the building they want to build. I am just very disappointed where they want to place it. Someday Trailside can be updated and the Concession Stand put back in use for what it should be. Make it a bait/snack shop, rent poles and make it profitable to fix up. A smaller scale version of the bait shop at Lake Isabella or Winton Woods.
I would encourage the CEF to build at the bottom of the steps coming down off of Nixon. They could carve out the hillside and put a deck for a roof so people could sit on top and look down on the boaters. I lived on Bishop long enough to know that the area at the end of Nixon on Bishop is just wasted space that the park mowes. I was disappointed when the horse swings were removed and no play equipment was put in its place. If the CEF needs parking it could also be put there on the upper level. I do know the sewer line goes through there, but there is plenty of space for the size of building they want to build.
Once a building is gone, it can never be replaced. Start by building the CEF building in an alternative location and when the park is vibrant, turn the concession stand into a useful building and store the park equipment elsewhere. I went today and took a friend to show her the plaza, Concession Stand and Trailside before taking a hike. I lived at . for 29 years. I moved 4 years ago but continue to visit my favorite park. I may not live with Burnet Woods as my backyard anymore, but in my heart it will live forever.

Good morning -
Please consider this a written objection to this meeting and an objection to any vote which may be taken by the BPAC in consideration of this proposal at this meeting. That BPAC would need to scramble two emergency meetings in 3-days to accommodate a botched engagement process on this matter is an abuse of BPAC representation, during a pandemic, during the holidays. It will check a box inadequately for CEF to say before the Park Board that they have completed substantive engagement when they have not. Cincinnati Parks and CEF have both had the technology to facilitate electronic meetings prior to the pandemic and during the pandemic to present what is being purported as a Parks plan. An authentic engagement of the BPAC in this matter would allow adequate time to calendar a meeting, take information back to organizations, make a recommendation to their organization regarding further process and for requested engagement to take place in the community forum. Of specific concern -
• A Zoom meeting of BPAC is NOT conclusive community engagement of Corryville Community Council. • A Zoom meeting of BPAC is NOT conclusive community engagement of CUF Neighborhood Association. • A Zoom meeting of BPAC is NOT conclusive community engagement of Clifton Town Meeting. The December 6th meeting of CTM did not include presentation by CEF, nor the ability to ask questions of CEF, and was at best a bare minimum 4-page paper concept viewing. • A Zoom meeting of BPAC is NOT conclusive engagement of other community partners which are members of BPAC and have been identified as stakeholders in Burnet Woods by Cincinnati Parks (UC-CCE, CCAC, Stewards of Burnet Woods, Cincinnati Parks Foundation, et al.) • Dismissive statements about BPAC organizations and community comment have been made by a Park Board Commissioner at the CTM Parks Committee meeting on 12/6 and CTM Community Council meeting on 12/7. Scrambling an 11th-hour meeting which may compromise the ability of some organizations to have representation serves the purpose of allowing BPAC to be dismissed by the Park Board Commissioners as an ineffective organization in 2020. • The CTM Parks Committee representative at the 12/11 meeting advocated a position in favor of the CEF building inconsistent with the CTM Resolution passed 12/7 and CTM Parks meeting discussion on 12/6. The CTM Parks Committee needs to be informed of this and given opportunity to choose a different BPAC representative. • The BPAC President is a CEF Employee who failed to identify a conflict of interest at our meeting 12/11 until well into the meeting when specifically asked. Communications from BPAC since March have been bare minimum under CEF leadership for unclear reasons. That there has been a technology barrier suddenly figured out in the last 2 days is not acceptable. Meetings of the BPAC were scheduled for May 5, Aug 4 and a TBD in November, and summarily cancelled without consultation or request for facilitation help from BPAC mamber organizations. The BPAC, as a standalone organization, has effectively abandoned Burnet Woods during the pandemic under CEF leadership.
I will also take this opportunity to point out that we have so far regarded this new bulding proposal as a 1800 sq ft structure. On further review, it appears to be two structures totalling ~ 2100 sq ft.
I have copied the Cincinnati Parks Public Comment email address, as well as additional community stakeholders, and would like this entered into the public comment record for the 12/17 Park Board Meeting.

Cynthia, Slandering and misrepresenting all those people who don't agree with your viewpoints is a bad road to go down.
A couple of corrections so the larger audience understands what is not accurate about your email.
1. CEF does NOT conduct the community engagement session. Parks does.
2. All stakeholders in the CCAC and CEF conversations of 2018 were party to the new BPAC formed in 2019.
3. If CUF, Corryville and any other organization chose not to become involved in BPAC, it is on them to become involved.
4. I am a member of the CTM Parks Committee and I have the same stated position on that Committee and now, which is that the 1800 sq ft building being proposed for an Urban Wilderness Center is a small footprint and if done well, can be a good compliment, in my opinion which I am allowed to have despite your opinion, to enhance Nature programming in BW.
I had no objection to CCAC being in BW if they had a small footprint and a discreet presence. I am on record with CTM as having this position. The 30,000 sq ft building and all the parking and other aspects that were being proposed was unacceptable to me and I stated my opposition to their plan. I never attacked CCAC for their position. I simply chose to appeal directly to the Park board to consider not approving their plan.
5. I did not get a chance to speak at the Monday CTM meeting because of serious technical issues related to capacity of Google Meet to handle all the people who attended the meeting virtually. I was personally horrified by the disrespect shown to Kara and Jim Goetz at that meeting and very upset to be a silent witness to the conversations which were being driven, in part, by my knowledge of the fact that the CCAC project was voted down by the Park Board and, therefore, there was some bloodletting on full display. It is astounding to see that people who thought that a 30,000 sq ft building in BW was fine are now arguing that every bit of green space is important and that n 1800 sq ft building is unacceptable. The shed will needs to be updated is the second building.
6. I am a private citizen and a CTM Trustee and I do not need to have you try to say I misspoke or misrepresented myself. This attempt to malign me and "remove me as Chair of Parks Committee, censure me for my opinion etc" for my opinions has been tried and has failed for the same reasons as you have tried and failed with me today. I will speak to that at the BPAC meeting today. You do not decide who can and cannot be a member of BPAC.
Please consider your own conduct as you represent an organization that I helped create. That I am no longer a board member by choice should be considered by all as a sign of my dissatisfaction with your leadership.
Finally, I would like the Park Board and Director of Parks and her staff to know that I greatly appreciate their efforts to help make BW the best it can be and I see CEF as a respectable partner to Parks and I trust that the Park Board and the Director have the integrity to make good decisions for our parks, with respectful and constructive community feedback .
Please don't slander me ever again.

I urge you to refrain from removing more trees in our shrinking green spaces. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. One look at how the Museum and Playhouse are destroying our small pockets of nature shows that the Board is more interested in development than preservation.

We DO NOT want development in our park. There is plenty of land available outside the parks system. Send them there! You have once again looked at dollars instead of citizen wishes.

Good morning, I oppose private development in Burnet Woods, a delightful oasis where my wife and I walk daily and we have enjoyed since moving to Clifton in 1967. There is nothing in proposed CEF activities that cannot be done elsewhere or in the Trailside museum. And I don’t object to what I know of the CEF’s programs. I grew up from age 8 spending summers in Northern Minnesota. The north woods are in my blood, as is canoeing. That’s why our family bought a fishing cabin in Northern Ontario 40 years ago. But I don’t need fire rings or camp sites in public parks. This isn’t to deny “urban” neighbors similar pleasures. I wish more were available to them. But Burnet Woods is the wrong place for CEF private development. By the way, what do your risk managers say to health hazards of falling out of a canoe or kayak in to the Burnet Woods pond? Runoff and sewage make it hazardous in case of a dunking. And believe me, people fall out of canoes and kayaks get in and getting out and while paddling. Life jackets save lives . . . if pathogens are not swallowed. Help CEF find another place or house their programs inside Trailside. A canoe can be built anywhere . . . the door is wide enough to get it out. I’ve seen their handmade canoe. It was lovely. I wish I had one. It does not need Burnet Woods to build it or paddle it. Thank you. Ben L. Kaufman

Honorable members of the Park Board:
Attached is my letter to you explaining why, in my opinion, you should not approve the Camping and Education Foundation (CEF) building proposed for Burnet Woods.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my letter in advance of your Dec 17 board meeting.
Tim Mara
TIMOTHY G. MARA
December 11, 2020
To the Members of the Cincinnati Park Board
The purpose of this letter is to explain my opposition to the proposed new buildings in Burnet Woods for the Camping and Education Foundation (CEF), and to urge you to not approve those buildings. I do so after perusing the plans submitted by CEF and listening to the presentation made by the Parks Director Kara Kish, the questions answered by Park Board Member Jim Goetz, and the opinions expressed by others at the December 7 Clifton Town Meeting.
It is my understanding that the proposed CEF project would consist of two new buildings – an 1800 square foot building which would house a boat maker space, wood shop, and restroom, and a smaller structure measuring approximately 14’ x 25’ for equipment storage and open air boat storage. The new buildings would be located at the north end of the Burnet Woods Lake. There would also be a boat dock and substantial reconfiguration of the plaza.
1. The proposed project would have a substantial negative impact on the environment. Construction of the proposed buildings would of necessity involve the removal of a significant number of trees, including at least two very large trees – a pin oak tree and a beech tree. Because clearing is not limited to the footprint of the buildings in order to provide an area for excavation equipment to maneuver, the area to be cleared would likely be much larger. In addition, the steep hillside behind the building site would likely require an even larger cleared area. Close supervision by park personnel would be needed to assure that construction workers understand the importance of minimizing the cleared area and that they work accordingly. The site of the proposed buildings is also important to birds and other animals. For example, the vicinity is inhabited by turtles. The photo on the next page is of a turtle crossing Burnet Woods Drive near the lake. I took the photo on June 11, 2016.
At the very least, an inventory of flora and fauna at and near the site should be conducted so the Park Board can know what is at risk in making its decision about this proposal.
2. The proposed buildings would displace an existing stone structure built as a concession stand and now used by the park staff for storage of maintenance equipment. The existing structure (see photo below) appears to be one of many structures throughout the Cincinnati park system built by the WPA and/or Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s, although that should be verified through park department records. If so, the structure is historic and should not be destroyed.
Even if built a bit later than the 1930s, the structure is architecturally compatible with the unquestionably historic Trailside Nature Center which is located directly across Brookline Avenue from this smaller structure. This structure is made of similar stone materials placed in a similar manner. Because of the proximity of the two structures, the smaller building could be viewed as auxiliary to and complimentary to the Nature Center. From the renderings submitted by CEF, the proposed buildings, on the other hand, would have a mostly wood rather than stone exterior, would be painted decidedly brighter colors, and would have a steep gabled roof in contrast to the low profile, nearly flat roof of the Nature Center. By appearance, the proposed structure looks like something one would find in the northern woods of Minnesota rather than in the woods of Southwest Ohio. Rather than be compatible with and auxiliary to the larger Trailside Nature Center, I believe the proposed buildings would stand out as different from and competing with the Trailside Nature Center as the focus of that part of Burnet Woods.
3. The proposed CEF program could negatively impact or even displace those who now fish at Burnet Woods Lake. The proposed CEF project would include a boat dock from which CEF participants could launch their canoes into the Burnet Woods Lake. This presents at least three potential problems. First, the lake is very popular with fishermen who cast their lines from the walkway which runs along the east shore of the lake and from the east bank of the lake. The lines typically go as far as 25 feet from the edge of the water. The lake is relatively narrow – no more than about 150 feet at its widest point, and even narrower near the most popular fishing spots. It will be difficult for canoes to maneuver around the lake without disturbing the lines or scaring away the fish. Fishermen will likely become discouraged, use the park less often, and seek another fishing spot. Ironically, many of the fishermen are African American who live in nearby city neighborhoods, and alternate fishing locations are likely to be some distance away for them. Second, it is unclear whether use of the proposed dock would be limited to participants in the CEF programs or open to the public at large. It seems just not right to limit use of the dock to CEF, but on the other hand allowing its use by everyone would only make conflict with fishermen even more likely. Third, the lake is important to not just fish but also to turtles who can be seen in the lake and to birds which frequent the trees located along the edge of the lake. The birds seem to be especially drawn to the tree limbs which hang over the lake. These creatures are likely to be scared off by canoes on the lake.
4. The proposed buildings may not be the best way to introduce greenspace- deprived youth to nature. As I understand CEF’s programming, CEF endeavors to introduce urban youth to the great outdoors by teaching them to build and use canoes. Other CEF-led activities include instruction in the identification of flora and fauna and related outdoor experiences such as hiking. It is great that CEF seeks to use Burnet Woods for its activities, given the park’s relative convenience to young people who live in the inner city, but it is unclear to me why CEF is so focused on having its own building in the park. From the plan as submitted by CEF, the proposed buildings appear to be solely devoted to a wood shop and related boat maker space as well as the storage of equipment and canoes. It seems likely to me that to be successful in introducing greenspace-deprived youth to the great outdoors, the young people served by the CEF program are better served by spending most of their time in the outdoors itself, not inside a building. That means that the building will be used for a limited number of weeks each Spring to build canoes to be used for CEF’s Summer programs. If so, then the need for a wood shop and canoe maker space could just as easily be met by a mobile facility parked at the lake for a few weeks each Spring, perhaps used in conjunction with an off-site boat making building. This would avoid destruction of trees and habitat, which are at the core of what CEF hopes those served by its programs will come to value.
5. There has been inadequate opportunity given to the public to review and comment on the proposed CEF buildings. This new CEF plan was made known even to the Clifton Town Meeting until about a week ago, and was discussed at CTM’s monthly virtual meeting on December 7. Even then, no CEF representative participated in the meeting to answer questions by those in attend ance. The only information available then, and even now, was the floor plan of the buildings and two renderings of the buildings. No information was available about other CEF plans for the park, which I am told would include camping facilities. As I mentioned earlier in this letter, it does not appear that CEF or the park staff have identified the flora and fauna which would be impacted by this project, so the public has been given little information from which to make informed, comprehensive comments. More importantly, the public at large has not been informed about this project even as of this date, and has thus been deprived of reasonable notice and opportunity to comment. For the Park Board to proceed to give its final approval to these CEF buildings and other related changes to Burnet Woods would be completely premature. A more robust public participation effort leading to a decision at some date in January would be prudent and fair. Sincerely,
/s/______Timothy G. Mara, JD, AICP

Members of the Park Board, I write to express my deep opposi on to proposal to construct a workshop for the exclusive use of CEF on the lake in Burnet Woods. I expressed my opposi on at the Cli on Town Mee ng earlier this week but given the misrepresenta on of past community engagement conveyed by parks representa ves at that mee ng, I do not trust them to give a full and accurate accoun ng of what happened at CTM. Not a single person on the CTM board or in the community expressed support for the building. No one. The current plan is nothing like previous plans. It does not entail upgrading Trailside nor increasing use of the exis ng facili es. Like others in Cli on, I see no benefit to the community or to the park in providing a building to a private en ty on prime real estate inside a busy park. When asked why CEF needed a building, parks representa ves had no answer. I honestly believe that if the park board supports this building, the public will ask serious ques ons about corrup on at parks and on the board, par cularly given the rush to approval and the absence of honest community engagement. (CEF couldn't even be troubled to have a representa ve at CTM.) Obviously, the public has lost faith in city officials recently, precisely because of sweetheart deals like this. I hope that the board recognizes the importance of gaining community support for such drama c changes in a beloved park and allows the me for a full discussion of the pros and cons of the current plan.

Dear Cincinna Board of Parks Commissioners (Brad Lindner, James Goetz, Linda Castellini, Linda Lee Thomas, and Kevin Flynn) - My name is Sarah Lucas and I am a resident of Cincinna . I was married in Burnet Woods, and have lived within a half mile of the park for 7 of the last 9 years. The park is an essen al natural resource and has been a space for countless gatherings with friends, family, and community members over the years. As someone who cannot afford private property, I share this park as part of my home with my community, a collec ve space that I treasure. Especially this year, the park has provided a cri cal outlet for myself and countless others to breathe some fresh air and take a brief respite from the oppressive but necessary quaran ne measures that we must also abide by to keep our community safe. How many of you own green space on your private property? Can you imagine what this year would have been like without it? I am wri ng to you to express my outrage over the proposed plans to allow a private organiza on, The Camping & Educa on Founda on (CEF,) to develop in Burnet Woods. It makes absolutely no sense that a so-called outdoor educa on founda on needs to destroy public green space to develop new indoor space.

Dear Cincinnati Board of Parks Commissioners,
My name is Anna, and I'm a Northside resident, former UC student, and a frequent user of Burnet Woods. I'm reaching out to express my concerns over the Camping and Education Foundation's proposal for Burnet Woods and to encourage you to vote against the project.
As you know, Burnet Woods plays a critical role in our city. From a resident standpoint, the park provides access to nature, recreation, and exercise in an otherwise heavily developed area. Many of the surrounding residents live in apartment buildings without personal greenspace. Parks are important to all, but especially for these residents. Unique from other greenspaces, Burnet Woods, as its name implies, offers true woods and trails. This is a huge asset for residents and wildlife, which can live there away from surrounding development. It's importance in bird migration is well-known and loved.
I'm a strong proponent of enhancing our parks; however, I do not believe CEF's proposal is the right approach. Developing Burnet Woods will reduce the public greenspace and work against the benefits stated above; it will go against the park board's mission to conserve Cincinnati's parks; and it will set a troubling precedent that Cincinnati supports privatization of public spaces.
In addition to my own personal objections, the community has made its position clear since the original proposal in 2018. I believe this consistent and clear opposition should be enough to halt CEF's plan, especially considering the organization's comments that they would only proceed if they had community support.
I urge you to vote against this project, so that you can continue to carry out the park board's mission to protect and conserve our public natural resources for current and future residents.

I attended UC and spent many afternoons in Burnet Woods exploring the trails, having picnics in the park, and looking at the nature. I took a Biology course where we walked the park and looked for native plants learning about their various uses. We are so fortunate to have a park with such plant and animal diversity. Myself and many of my friends have memories in Burnet Woods. It is so wonderful to have a park close to UC. We need green spaces in Cincinnati to give life to the city.

Dear Cincinnati Parks Board, and whom it may concern,
When CCAC and CEF both made their initial presentations a couple years ago, I was on the fence. I had friends on both sides and listened to their reasons. I went through the official presentation materials myself. I walked with my dog and my daughter through Burnet Woods many times, and thought about what it was, what it could be, what it should be.
Ultimately I agreed with those who were arguing against new private buildings in the park, and I still agree with them now.
There is no reason CEF cannot make use of the existing Trailside Nature Center for their main operations, as they stated they would do. Furthermore, this hurried, bait-and-switch move weakens my trust in their organization to be friends of the Burnet Woods community and stewards of the park.
I urge you to say no to their new proposal. Instead they should abide by the original compromise, to update and renovate the Trailside building. If there are smaller improvements (such as a small canoe storage shed, or nature-based art) that can be incorporated into Burnet Woods -- following genuine community engagement and approval, and without compromising the integrity of this special urban forest -- then those can and should be considered separately.

Dear CINCINNATI PARK BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Attn. Commissioner Goetz:
It was brought to my attention that the park is planning on moving forward in removing the WPA Concession Stand with plans to replace it with a building for the CEF, Camping and Education Foundation.
I welcome the idea of the CEF building in the park. I even love the plans for the building they want to build. I am just very disappointed where they want to place it. Someday Trailside can be updated and the Concession Stand put back in use for what it should be. Make it a bait/snack shop, rent poles and make it profitable to fix up. A smaller scale version of the bait shop at Lake Isabella or Winton Woods.
I would encourage the CEF to build at the bottom of the steps coming down off of Nixon. They could carve out the hillside and put a deck for a roof so people could sit on top and look down on the boaters. I lived on Bishop long enough to know that the area at the end of Nixon on Bishop is just wasted space that the park mowes. I was disappointed when the horse swings were removed and no play equipment was put in its place. If the CEF needs parking it could also be put there on the upper level. I do know the sewer line goes through there, but there is plenty of space for the size of building they want to build.
Once a building is gone, it can never be replaced. Start by building the CEF building in an alternative location and when the park is vibrant, turn the concession stand into a useful building and store the park equipment elsewhere. I went today and took a friend to show her the plaza, Concession Stand and Trailside before taking a hike. I lived at Bishop St. for 29 years. I moved 4 years ago but continue to visit my favorite park. I may not live with Burnet Woods as my backyard anymore, but in my heart it will live forever.

Burnet Woods has always been a sanctuary for those living in a densely populated area. Green space and exercise is essential for health. If Burnet Woods is developed it will take away from the sanctuary it provides. More importantly more development would put health at risk for those living in the area or those who rely on the park. During Covid-19 lock downs Burnet Woods was one of the only places for many to get vitamin d or have space to exercise. Many inhabitants of Clifton area do not have access to cars so Burnet offers a space to exercise and get essential green time within walking distance. Altering the small bit of sanctuary the Burnet offers would destroy the hard work of many organizations who have put great amounts of energy into restoring the environment and protecting native species. This park doesn’t belong to developers. It belongs to the people who have worked hard to preserve it and the people who use the park to keep their physical and mental health high functioning.

Dear Cincinnati Parks Commissioners,
I am writing to express my strong support for the Cincinnati Education and Camping Foundations’ proposal to partner with Cincinnati Parks on a Burnet Woods Urban Wilderness Center.
As the manager of Cincinnati Parks Explore Nature from 2010 to 2018, I had the opportunity to work with this organization and consider them one of the best partners in reaching young adults to promote environmental education and to develop a stewardship of nature.
By developing an 1,800 square foot “makerspace” Explore Education and CEF can engage many young adults that might not be reachable with traditional nature programing while serving the Burnet Woods community and the city at large. The boat building program is fascinating and engaging to most people and encourages self – confidence, team building and an enduring love and interest of nature.
The Park Board would be remiss to not partner with CEF as Parks traditionally has not been able to provide programming that actively engages the 12 – 17 age group and college students. Most of Explore Nature’s programming has been geared to younger children and families. I understand that the Park Board is revamping the Explore Nature program and this is an amazing opportunity to expand that programming with a dedicated and reliable partner that has a proven track record in Cincinnati and across the country.
While working for Parks, I was a part of a team that looked at many locations, but none offered the easy access and public transportation that Burnet Woods does. Burnet Woods is also a walkable distance for several schools in the area. With UC being a neighbor, UC students can walk to the makerspace to work as volunteers. A win – win for everyone.
Boat building can teach many things, but the look of success on a student’s face as they paddled in a boat they helped build is priceless. I have attached a few pictures from one of the many joint programs that Explore Nature has presented with CEF. Please be as forward thinking as the first Cincinnati Parks Commissioners were and move forward with this project. This will be a gift to future generations just like the Park system was to Cincinnati over 100 years ago.
Sincerely,
Ruthann Spears

Good afternoon, In light of the upcoming meeting and vote on development in Burnet Woods, I wanted to throw in my two cents. Please resoundly reject any private development in our beloved park. We have a responsibility to preserve our greenspaces for future generations, not sell out parcels for short term uses. Consider the existing structure in the park - it's perfectly usable, and yet they want another building built. What would stop the next group from rejecting this second structure in favor of a third on park grounds? And so on and so forth.
Greenspace in urban areas act as a great equalizer - those without their own yards or space to play or entertain can rely on a public park for daily recreation and space for entertaining. Many in our city may never own a home nor a private piece of greenspace - yet they have a right to the health benefits that greenspace provides. This includes the physical activity and the mental health benefits of interaction with nature and the socialization the space provides.
Burnet woods specifically provides several unique opportunities to engage with nature. A fishing hole attracts many different types of Cincinnatans, including but not limited to those who rely on it for subsistence and families look for low-cost or no-cost activities. The trails in the park provide the opportunity to lose sight and sound of the typical urban noise of traffic. These opportunities may exist in the greater Cincinnati area, but for those reliant on the public transportation system, Burnet Woods graciously provides. This all in addition to the ecological and educational benefits that this park provides, as bird sanctuary and otherwise.
As an environmental justice and public health advocate, I endorse the mission of the Camping and Educational Foundation, but I reject their demand to take a large slice out of our public park for their own use. If the city wants to support their mission, I encourage their development of an offsite location, and would even advocate along its leaders for funding to pay for a different site.
This letter was submitted to the Cincinnati Enquirer as a letter to the editor as well.
Thank you, Samantha

Dear Cincinnati Board of Parks Commissioners (Brad Lindner, James Goetz, Linda Castellini, Linda Lee Thomas, and Kevin Flynn) -
My name is Cary Brodie and I am a resident of Madison Place, but am a user and lover of our areas park spaces. I am writing to you to express my concern over the proposed plans to allow a private organization, The Camping & Education Foundation (CEF,) to develop in Burnet Woods.
As we have learned over the last four years with Trump, there are people in power who are willing to chuck understood agreements out the window in pursuit of their own agenda. When you allow one little seemingly harmless norm go, it gets harder and harder to quell the flood of demands based on that newly formed precedent. Why would anyone who lives near any piece of Park owned property, big or small, EVER believe you wouldn't sell off their "slice of heaven" to whomever you see fit? These are the days to embrace your roll as Guardians of Green Space. As the country watches the current president send extremely valuable (environmentally) land off to the auction block, we are showing the world how little we care about the bigger picture. If something can't be monetized, it apparently has no value. Do not let this development opportunity sway you from your duty. You will not be able to stuff the genie back in the bottle if you break this seal.
As you all know, getting generations to care about the big picture starts with public parks. Please continue to use what you have, get creative about how you bring parks to people, and get people to embrace ownership in "their parks." The PWB group has made a HUGE dent in the invasive plant species battle. This is a BIG DEAL. The more you invest in those types of efforts, you will teach more and more Cincinnati neighbors what to look for and how to handle it in their own yards, then that will make a bigger dent in the national effort. That is taking our parks to the personal level and teaching them how to start with what they have and grow from there. The momentum is palpable.
Members of Preserve Burnet Woods were aware of the original plans in 2018, and were vocal about their opposition to private development in the park at that time. I share Preserve Burnet Woods and the surrounding community’s concerns about the negative environmental impact of the proposed development. I am also deeply troubled by the implications of a private organization building on public resources. It is disheartening to realize that the overwhelming community feedback that was provided in 2018, must be restated.
I urge you to stay true to the mission of Cincinnati Parks to conserve and maintain our public natural resources and protect what we have for future generations. Please vote against this proposed development against our unique urban forests. I'm stunned this is even being discussed as I believed you all when you did not allow the previous development to go through. Who told the CEF to go on and try to get this approved? Why waste their time? What changed?
I have done as much as I can to rebuild a smidgen of support for Parks from people who are jaded by the Park Board's years of neglect of small neighborhood parks. I've been standing up for you all, explaining that the budget keeps getting cut, or that once the bigger park areas get dealt with hopefully, you will get back to the smaller neglected areas. People will continue to NOT SUPPORT tax levies if you continue to ignore what they express. Please don't pimp out the parks for business opportunity. Show neighbors you care about what has been neglected. Don't neglect what they have told you time and time again.
I'm not sure you will even read even read this, but I truly believe you are at crossroads of building upon what you said you cared about in 2018 and/or breaking the dam of development. Your support would break the dam and you will loose trust of the neighbors of all Park's properties.

What would stop the next group from rejecting this second structure in favor of a third on park grounds? And so on and so forth.
Greenspace in urban areas act as a great equalizer - those without their own yards or space to play or entertain can rely on a public park for daily recreation and space for entertaining. Many in our city may never own a home nor a private piece of greenspace - yet they have a right to the health benefits that greenspace provides. This includes the physical activity and the mental health benefits of interaction with nature and the socialization the space provides.
Burnet woods specifically provides several unique opportunities to engage with nature. A fishing hole attracts many different types of Cincinnatans, including but not limited to those who rely on it for subsistence and families look for low- cost or no-cost activities. The trails in the park provide the opportunity to lose sight and sound of the typical urban noise of traffic. These opportunities may exist in the greater Cincinnati area, but for those reliant on the public transportation system, Burnet Woods graciously provides. This all in addition to the ecological and educational benefits that this park provides, as bird sanctuary and otherwise.
As an environmental justice and public health advocate, I endorse the mission of the Camping and Educational Foundation, but I reject their demand to take a large slice out of our public park for their own use. If the city wants to support their mission, I encourage their development of an offsite location, and would even advocate along its leaders for funding to pay for a different site.
This letter was submitted to the Cincinnati Enquirer as a letter to the editor as well.
Thank you, Samantha

Dear Park Board,
I am writing to encourage you to keep Burnet Woods green and not let our park land be used for any construction. I am a birder and want to protect the habitat for animals and humans. I am a walker also and appreciate the park's cooling trees in the hot summer. Burnet Woods provides a green oasis in an urban area, helping with cleaning and cooling the atmosphere. Please preserve Burnet Woods.

Dear Cincinnati Board of Parks Commissioners (Brad Lindner, James Goetz, Linda Castellini, Linda Lee Thomas, and Kevin Flynn) -
My name is Fabien Acher and I am a resident of Cincinnati. I want to remind you that you work for the people and resources of Cincinnati. You answer to the people of this city. Our labor is what enables Cincinnati Parks to exist. I urge you to keep this in mind when making decisions that affect the very people and resources that you represent.
I am writing to you to express my concern over the proposed plans to allow a private organization, The Camping & Education Foundation (CEF,) to develop in Burnet Woods. Members of Preserve Burnet Woods were aware of the original plans in 2018, and were vocal about their opposition to private development in the park at that time. I share Preserve Burnet Woods and the surrounding community’s concerns about the negative environmental impact of the proposed development. I am also deeply troubled by the implications of a private organization building on public resources. It is disheartening to realize that the overwhelming community feedback that was provided in 2018, must be restated. I urge you to stay true to the mission of Cincinnati Parks to conserve and maintain our public natural resources and protect what we have for future generations. Please vote against this proposed development against our unique urban forests.

Dear Cincinna Board of Parks Commissioners Lindner, Goetz, Castellini, Flynn, and Thomas:
I am wri ng to express my strong opposi on to the proposal to allow a private organiza on, the Camping & Educa on Founda on (CEF), to develop in Burnet Woods. I previously expressed concern regarding private development in Burnet Woods when the Cli on Cultural Arts Center and CEF were proposing projects in 2018. The proposed development of a freestanding building, the demoli on of a stone WPA-era building, and other changes to the park to facilitate CEF programming are par cularly concerning because they will nega vely impact both the environment of this unique urban forest and the history of the park. In addi on, the proposed changes appear to iden fy CEF and its par cipants as the popula on that is priori zed to use the park.
As a Cincinna resident who appreciates the value our urban parks bring to quality of life as well as habitat for wildlife, I urge you vote against this proposed development. Maintaining and protec ng our public natural resources for future genera ons, not facilita ng private development on publicly owned park lands, should be the focus of the Park Board.

Re: Cincinnati Urban Wilderness Center Project
Dear Park Commissioners and City Councilmembers:
The CUF Neighborhood Association has just become aware of the Park Board’s intent to vote at its December meeting to finalize a joint proposal by the Cincinnati Park Board and the Camping & Education Foundation (CEF) for a building project in Burnet Woods. According to drawings presented by Park Commissioner Jim Goetz at the December 7, 2020 Clifton Town Meeting, the Urban Wilderness Center would be a dramatic departure from original plans of 2018.
To date, there has been no engagement with CUF by the Park Board or CEF around this proposal, and, apparently, none is planned. Commissioner Goetz indicated the decision has already been made. CUF stakeholders have traditionally been heavily involved in all matters concerning our neighborhood parks. This project represents a significant addition to the built environment of the park.
Given that there has been no contact from CEF or the Park Board, CUF cannot support this proposal. Transparency in public projects is paramount; there has been none in this instance.
Sincerely,
Chip Kussmaul, President CUF Neighborhood Association

To whom it may concern:
The Camping & Education Foundation (CEF), an organization headquartered in International Falls, Minnesota (plus a Winter Headquarters in Hyde Park, Cincinnati), has proposed to build an 1800 Sq ft building wood shop plus a 310 sq ft canoe storage facility in Burnet Woods. The goal of CEF is to provide camping, canoeing, and woodcraft skills to inner city children, which is a noble goal that I wholly support. The question in many folks' minds is why this necessitates destroying ~90 linear feet of natural woodland along the entrance & plaza leading to the Lakeside Trail in Burnet Woods. Burnet Woods is historically significant with the original park area purchased by the city in 1872 and 1881. It is 90 acres, approximately 50% of its original size. The southern half was acquired by the University of Cincinnati and developed. The most recent loss of parkland occurred in 1950 when the University obtained 18 additional acres. The proposed structures would stand almost directly across from Trailside Nature Center, a historically significant building designed & built by Carl Freund in 1939.
Modernnati, a publication devoted to modern architecture in Cincinnati, in 2018 published a beautiful piece about Carl Freund’s vision and elegance shown in nearly every Cincinnati Park building, including the Administration Building in Eden Park (https://www.modernnati.com/single-post/2018/05/17/parkitect-carl-freund-and-organic-modernism-in- cincinnati-s-public-landscape). In it, the following statements were made:
"Cincinnati Architect R. Carl Freund (1902-59) worked for the Cincinnati Park Board for three decades, from the 1930s -1950s, and furnished the city’s parks with a delightful array of small buildings designed in Freund’s creative interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Organic Modernism. ...Freund ultimately designed over three dozen park structures, ranging from shelter pavilions, to comfort stations, to lodges, and including the Park Board administration building in Eden Park. ..Freund’s park buildings tend to be small and programmatically simple but, like landscape pavilions from the 18th- century onward, his park buildings are sensitively sited to function both as objects within the landscape and as "viewing cameras” for heightening visitors' experiences of the natural landscape."
The proposal is almost certain to be approved by the Park Board, amid the near unanimous protests of the Clifton & CUF communities, and a wide handful of stakeholder organizations, including Preserve Burnet Woods (https://preserveburnetwoods.org), the Stewards of Burnet Woods (https://www.cincinnatiparksfoundation.org/projects/burnet-woods/), the Cincinnati Wildflower Society (http://www.cincywildflower.org/) and others. Besides the destruction of precious natural landscape, and the troubling precedent of allowing a private enterprise to occupy land in our parks, the design proposal is inconsistent with the architectural history of the Cincinnati Parks.
In this presentation, an 1800 sq ft "log cabin-like" structure is proposed, plus a 310 sq ft canoe storage area. Amongst the many concerns about allowing a private enterprise to build in Cincinnati Park's oldest park, the architecture that is proposed is not consistent with the vision of Carl Freund nor the 36 buildings and shelters that have represented our parks for more than 80 years.
I have sent a copy of this letter to Modernnati.com.

To whom it may concern:
My name is Jennifer Araya, and I am a resident and homeowner in Clifton. I am writing to express my vehement opposition of the CEF proposal for private construction in Burnet Woods, and to urge the Park Board to reject this proposal.
I am a near-daily user of the beautiful green space in Burnet Woods, regularly walking, biking, and running through the park for fitness, often picnicking in the park as a way to enjoy the outdoors, and exploring the forest space by hiking the trails. While I have used and appreciated Burnet Woods for my entire time living in Clifton (over 15 years), it has been especially treasured during the past year. Free and unfettered access to Burnet Woods has been invaluable to my and my family's mental health as we weathered the pandemic restrictions. The ability to get outdoors and explore Burnet Woods has been beneficial beyond measure. I truly cannot express how much we value and appreciate the green space and outdoor recreation provided by Burnet Woods.
I am appalled that the Cincinnati Park Board is entertaining a proposal from CEF to add new, private construction to this public treasure. The CEF proposal does not invest in community use of the park and effectively cuts off community access to the portions of the park included in this proposed new development. The consideration of this proposal is a violation of the public trust the Clifton community has with the Park Board. This proposal is entirely contrary to the Park Board's responsibility to manage and maintain Burnet Woods, a resource that is a vital part of the Clifton community, for public use. A new private building in the park is not needed or wanted. The people who live, work, and play in and around the park -- the Clifton community -- do not want this development to happen. Passage of this proposal would be a gross violation of community trust.
Rather than accepting this proposal, I implore you to invest in improving existing park services and infrastructure. Much can be done to improve upon and expand the existing park amenities. Proposals that do so would be welcomed and cheered by those, like me, who regularly use the park. I beg you to work in cooperation with the local community, not in defiance of it.
I urge you, in the strongest terms, to flatly reject the CEF proposal for Burnet Woods.
Sincerely, Jennifer Araya

Hello, I would like to start by thanking you for being stewards and advocates for our Cincinnati park system. I've noticed the improvements of the trails at Burnet Woods and ongoing maintenance at Ault Park, Alms Park and Eden Park as well as others. During this time of a pandemic having access to our parks and nature is of vital importance for everyone. I am not in favor of any additional structures being built in Burnet Woods as it has such a small footprint already for the community that it serves. I also feel that building any private entities within our public parks is unfair and also financially dangerous. CEF first seemed to approach the community with the plan of renovating and adding on to the existing Trailside Museum which when I grew up in Clifton in the 70s had numerous nature classes and amenities. I thought this might be a good fit if they could increase community programming at the Nature Center. I checked the CEF website for more information regarding their plans and saw the mock up drawings for a cabin like structure as well as Canoes in the water???? Was CEF going to take responsibility for cleaning the "lake" too? The last issue regarding CCAC which you voted against was for an entity that is open to everyone at no cost- CEF is not. I would implore you to not vote to approve an additional CEF structure in Burnet Woods and destruction of the outbuilding. Surely there are better areas and resources within our city and county that would fit their goals. Burnet Woods is not it. Frankly, I'm surprised they have zeroed in on Burnet Woods and cannot understand why. Thanks for your consideration Suzanne Sifri

Re the CEF proposal that sounds like a done deal, I would like to express my objection based on the process alone.
At the CTM meeting of March, 2018 I watched a CEF representative give a very brief PowerPoint. He preceded the CCAC rep and there was very little discussion. That was the last I’ve seen or heard of CEF. At the time, I did my best to research the organization, with little success. Their web site contains lovely photos but no substantive information. I emailed them to ask who was on their board and how they were funded and never received a response.
Now it looks like it’s all over but the shouting. I heard about this last week, along with the rest of Cincinnati taxpayers. Again I researched them online and discovered that they are a very well-funded outfit with highly paid staff. I emailed them again to see who was on their board, with no response.
The citizens of the City have no access to this facility, only their clients. I have so many questions about this project I don’t know where to begin. The terms of the lease are apparently secret. Why?
I urge the Board and Director Kish to at least defer the vote until the citizenry can get some answers.
Thank you so much, Marcia McLaughlin

15 December 2020
To the Park Board of Commissioners:
Please reject the new proposal from the Camping and Education Foundation to construct a standalone workshop in Burnet Woods Park. I agree with Clifton Town Meeting and with the Burnet Woods Park Advisory Committee that there has not been sufficient public engagement about the new proposal, which appears to be focused on supporting the Camping and Education Foundation’s programming, without recognition of the surrounding community’s priority of reopening Trailside Nature Center in support of a wider range of programming.
I attended the March Park Board of Commissioners meeting, and according to my notes, CEF was successfully starting their programming, in “no hurry,” and that a resilient and sustainable addition to Trailside was CEF’s goal. Since then, I have been expecting community engagement around modifications of the original plans to see if it was feasible to accomplish synergies with an updated plan. I was very disappointed that the new proposal summarily rejects the possibility of this course.
We are very fortunate to have a rich, mature woodland that supports both nature educational programming and also nature. Every summer day that I walk through Burnet Woods Park, I hear a Red-Eyed Vireo. This is not a typical urban bird, and I regard it as a keystone species, indicative of the health of the woods, supporting migratory birds and deep-woods residents. I am committed to help with efforts to remove invasive plant species in an attempt to preserve the health of the woods for future generations to enjoy nature programming, as well as for the critters.
To accept the new proposal from Camping and Education Foundation to construct a standalone building in Burnet Woods Park would set an extremely bad precedent. Please reject this new proposal at your meeting on 17 December 2020 and initiate community engagement over the next steps for the health of Burnet Woods Park.
Thank you for considering my request.

Burnet Woods Resolution 12/14/2020 10:00 pm
Whereas: Burnet Woods is a beautiful urban public greenspace in Cincinnati; and
Whereas: All of the park and its facilities should be made available to all members of the Cincinnati community -- not to a single private enterprise that services a small number of the city’s residents (even though we agree strongly with the vision of the Camping and Educational Foundation (CEF)); and
Whereas: The two buildings proposed by the CEF would obstruct and clutter the scenic entrance to the park, cutting into a pristine hillside and obstructing or eliminating the old growth trees and other native plants important to birds and other wildlife;
Be it therefore resolved: That the Board of the Cincinnati Wild Flower Preservation Society, which represents its over 200 members, strongly recommends that the Cincinnati Park Board turn down the current proposal by the CEF (presented at the recent Clifton Town Meeting and scheduled to be presented at your upcoming meeting) to construct the two buildings across the street from the Trailside Center.
Resolution passed by Cincinnati Wild Flower Preservation Society Board by a vote of 8-0 with one abstention.

This is to let the Board of Cincinnati Parks know that I am TOTALLY OPPOSED to the proposal by the Camping and Education Foundation, that is scheduled for a Board meeting and vote on 17-December-2020.
This park is too small for the kinds of proposals, including this one, that are being put forward. There is little enough "green space" in that part of Cincinnati to start with, and this would just make things worse.
In addition, I am extremely upset that there seems to be a move to rush through the process and thereby bypass the input of the general public. To my knowledge, until about 10 days ago there effort to engage the public and relevant groups, e.g. Clifton Town Meeting, Preserve Burnet Woods, etc. THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR MUST STOP!

I, for one, wasn't too keen on learning that our "public" landing was no longer public (years ago), and am appalled to learn that someone there was smug enough to even propose such an asinine plan without proper consideration of the general outrage and opposition when this first came up. I'm asking you all to very carefully consider my opposition now. I've donated some to help with the voluntary cleanup and general preservation of Burnett woods and think it best to allow it to remain a good free park, without any potentially detrimental and adverse impact that is certain by allowing private interests to develop, and build. I'd be for anything "public", that would benefit the public, without any known or potential adverse environmental impact, however, unless this private interest can convince me and others in opposition that this proposal is in the best interest of the users of the park and/or the general (mostly tax-paying) public, then I'm here to say it shouldn't be approved. Please work to preserve Burnett woods as is. No private interest should be allowed to infringe on public property. We need all the green "natural" space we can get. You'd be very foolish to allow some private interest to destroy any of it.

Dear Park Board, As a lifelong Cincinnati resident, I place tremendous value in our park system. Burnet Woods is a jewel in the crown of the Queen City. It is vital to preserve the wildlife habitats that it provides. It is important that it remain fully accessible to the citizens, and not open to private development. Please vote no on the new CEF building proposal. Thank you, Michelle F. Parrett Clifton Heights [External Email] PUBLIC COMMENTS: 12/17

Dear Park Board Commissioners:
I am writing to urge you to vote against CEF's development, currently proposed for Burnet Woods.
For decades, organizations have petitioned the Park Board to locate their operations within Burnet Woods, under the faulty presumption that their mission would justify their use of public land. Each time this has happened, the Park Board has wisely turned down their petitions.
Time has shown us that the Park Board's decisions in this regard have been correct.
For example: after the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County petitioned the Board to locate its Clifton branch within Burnet Woods, at the corner of Clifton and Ludlow Avenues, and after its petition was denied, the Public Library found an alternative location at the corner of Ludlow and Brookline Avenues (near the Park) and has been very successful, there.
More recently, the Clifton Cultural Arts Center petitioned the Commissioners to use Park land and was denied, as well. It will now locate closer to the Clifton Business District on Clifton Avenue. A much more appropriate location.
If CEF wants to use Burnet Woods, as a resource, it should find a site near it, not in it. This is public land and should remain, as such.
I urge the Park Commissioners to adhere to their historic practice of protecting our precious public resource, Burnet Woods, from threats of development of unknown value to the Clifton community and our City.
Sincerely,
Simon Lyon

To Park Board members: Please add my response to those thousands of Cincinnati residents who oppose the proposed building in Burnet Woods Park. I attended the 2018 meeting and heard CEF say they would not build if the community did not want it. It seems crystal clear the community does not want it. This strategy of short notice process on their part and the Park board is offensive to citizens who have contributed untold hours to preserve the park and make collaborative decisions. Please honor the principles which have bee published and agree upon concerning community engagement and respect for community opinion. Thank you. Ed Gutfreund

SGS Tue 12/15/2020 9:28 PM To: Cc: Parks, Cincy
Dear Commissioners
First I would like to thank you for supporting our invasive removal work in the parks. Our volunteers are increasing and their skill sets are getting quite good. Every volunteer we teach becomes a more knowledgable future steward. This is real nature education with positive results. Concerning the new CEF proposal I respectfully urge you to not support the proposed location change to the hillside by the lake. - The hillside is steep and could present stability issues. There are large mature trees that would need to be removed. - The proposed location will further fragment the forest. That hillside is a critical breeding habitat for Box Turtles. Box Turtle populations never expand in landlocked situations, they only decline. - The original proposal to revamp Trailside Nature Center seems more practical in my opinion. Its current condition although picturesque does not function as well as it could. With proper community engagement and fund raising with CEF as a partner let's expand it. The land between the historic concrete slide and Trailside would be the most suitable area for the CEF wood shop. ("Urban Wilderness Center” is extremely over stated) That area has no trees, is closer to utilities, less obtrusive, not far from the lake, and I believe more acceptable. - I have attended 3 meetings in the last week and the proposed location has been extremely unpopular. Virtually no support. I’ve never witnessed the CTM so united. - The wood shop would be of limited use to the general population, CEF could develop a portable wood shop with a temporary footprint and be able to work with kids regionally.
Please be patient with this situation and consider your legacy as commissioners and protect Burnet Woods from this development location. (The CCAC found a new home that has been embraced by all)
Sincerely
Steve Slack
P.S. I apologize for the use of the word “demand” in our Burnet Woods CPAC resolution. We had a rigorous Sunday meeting to figure out our process with original members and those who joined for the first time. It was a frustrating discussion. [External Email] Public Comment: 12/17

Dear members of the Cincinnati City Park Board:
My wife and I are residents of Clifton, I for more than 25 years, she for almost 35. We are both opposed to the proposed plan to construct a building in Burnet Woods near the lake in partnership with Camping and Education Foundation. We concur with the arguments laid out by the Preserve Burnet Woods organization as to why this is a bad idea. While we have no doubt that the Foundation does very valuable work, we do not think that it justifies using the Park for this purpose. Surely there are other feasible locations elsewhere in the city or county.
Please reject this proposal.
Thank you, Mel Stampe & Maria Blake

To the Park Board:
I am a long-term Cincinnati resident.
I strongly disapprove of the plan by Camping Education Foundation ("CEF") to build in Burnet Woods. It is my understanding they have done a bait -and- switch. First they planned to renovate Trailside Nature Center, which might have been acceptable. This apparently put them in good stead. Now they are planning to do what the community has been clear we do not want: build more structures in the park.
My reasoning for opposing this plan is the same as I gave for opposing Clifton Cultural Arts Center's ("CCAC") to build in Burnet Woods:
I oppose any plans for new buildings in the Burnet Woods. There is no need for new structures to be added in the one major green space we have.
Burnet Woods is designated an IBA ("Important Bird Area") for migratory birds. https://www.audubon.org/important-bird-areas/burnet-woods
Burnet Woods has already seen encroachment by the University of Cincinnati. We do not need any more encroachment of development.

Dear Cincinnati Park Board of Commissioners, Mr. Mayor, and Members of Council:
Those of you who know me know that I am here to request that you summarily reject the Camping and Education Foundation's (CEF) proposal to build in Burnet Woods, that you nullify the MOU between Parks and CEF, and that you put an end to discussions of new development in Burnet Woods once and for all. My request is grounded in both the empirical and qualitative realities that the ecology of Burnet Woods, and its health, reflects the health of the communities surrounding the park. In my view, the ecological health of the park should be our shared, top priority, and new development will result in irreversible damage to that ecology.
I realize, however, that some of you may feel there are other priorities in competition with the one stated above. So, please allow me to make the case for why, even on other priorities parks articulates in public-facing communications, the proposal to develop in Burnet Woods should be summarily rejected at tomorrow's meeting:
Priority Logical posi on and vote Substan a on Fiscal responsibility Summarily reject CEF proposal and nullify MOU To add a deprecia ng asset to a system that is already grappling with $70mil+ deferred maintenance is dubious at best Leader among parks systems Summarily reject CEF proposal and nullify the The facts are in: climate change is real and we MOU need to adapt how we do ci es. Cincinna Parks should be a na onal leader in protec ng and expanding (not diminishing) greenspaces which will be essen al for mi ga ng urban heat island effect in a warming climate. Selfless, value-adding partners Summarily reject CEF proposal and nullify MOU Parks needs partners, to be sure, but it needs partners that are not looking for quid pro quo. Partners that will bend over backwards to do no harm to flora and fauna in parks, expand/restore the greenspace under management, honor shared space, and respect parks as a public ins tu on. In my view, that CEF would note “challenges of sharing physical space” is in itself enough to categorically reject the kind of partnership currently unfolding with them. Public parks are inherently shared physical and natural spaces. Conserva on Summarily reject CEF proposal and nullify MOU In a heavily-built environment like Uptown, consump on of natural resources for the sake of another building is a viola on of principles of conserva on. Parks as infrastructure for social equity Summarily reject CEF proposal and nullify MOU There is no ge ng around that CEF appropriates cultures in its branding, marke ng, and programming. Their project name, which includes the term “urban wilderness,” is oxymoronic and misleading. They haven’t even figured out how to remove bias from the language they use when referring to the popula on they say they will serve, using the phrase “urban youth.” Even the slightest effort teaches one how to remove bias from language, it's evident that they have not made that effort. These kinds of callous oversights deflate confidence in the idea that CEF understands the work that’s needed to make parks a space for progress toward social equity. Public engagement and process Summarily reject CEF proposal and nullify MOU Public engagement doesn’t mean take feedback from a small, select part of the public and then go design stuff privately for a year and claim to be presen ng a publicly- involved concept. Best prac ces in public engagement mean consistently and robustly engaging the public in all aspects, phases, and decisions in the process. It’s insul ng and contemptuous for anyone to say this has been a publicly-engaged process. The community clearly opposes the building, and the overall project has no buy-in from the public because of botched engagement. Common sense Summarily reject CEF proposal and nullify MOU The community has repeatedly, for decades, made unequivocally clear that it does not want new development in Burnet Woods. No library, no restaurant, no arts center, no U- store for CEF. Common sense tells us to summarily reject the CEF proposal, nullify the MOU, and put to rest discussions of new construc on in the park.
Respectfully and with gratitude to all of you for your service to our city,
Bob

To the Board Members of the Park Board,
I was shocked to hear of the proposal from CEF to build what would be a privately owned building in Burnet Woods. It is almost 2 years to the day that CEF stood before the assembled supporters of Preserve Burnet Woods and declared they would not do something that the public did not want. For the record I join the many others who have worked to keep our treasured Burnet Woods a public space for the whole city to enjoy as well as to protect and preserve its extraordinary biodiversity for many creatures.
Do not vote to accept this proposal.
Also, I know as a citizen I always have to keep track of what is going on in the halls of administration of our public spaces. But my mixture of disappointment and outrage about the lack of public input until the very last minute is so tiring. Really, it is hard to believe you would conduct a vote like this during the pandemic when we cannot physically demonstrate our position, during the holiday season, in the face of 2 very full years of volunteer activity to improve the park and with so little involvement of the public, the stakeholders. Remember the message you got 2 years ago-this is a public space and the public has stated how they want it preserved as such.
Please listen to and consider my comments. . Eileen Frechette

To the Cincinnati Parks Board of Commissioners,
As a resident of Clifton who frequents Burnet Woods, and an ecology professor at the University of Cincinnati, I am disappointed that the timeline for approval of the private boathouse project was rushed through so quickly. I oppose the project primarily on the grounds that a publicly inaccessible facility is not appropriate for the prime access area adjacent to the public pond in Burnet Woods. The boatbuilding house project could be placed anywhere within driving distance of Hyde Park because the boatbuilding clientele can readily drive to get there. It does not belong in Burnet Woods, unless there is more information available that the public could use to assess the nature of this endeavor.
The project has little connection with UC and it is unclear how any UC students would be served by such a facility, despite the claims made in the proposal. Conversely, the natural areas of the park are a true gem, and one of the most valuable urban woodland parks in the country. The park is valuable for several of our courses, including the one I teach, Ecology and Evolution (2084C), which serves 150+ students. All students in this class visit Burnet Woods to collect ecological data on several occasions every year. Development of Burnet Woods only harms its utility as an ecological resource for the community.
The boatbuilding project has little visible connection with the underprivileged youth in the surrounding neighborhoods. There are no prior connections evident that this group has made with the neighborhoods around Burnet Woods. I would think a project like this would necessitate a demonstrated value to the community, in the form of a history of public engagement in the areas served by the park.
I would enjoy talking with the Park leadership about raising funds for joint initiatives in Burnet Woods that would serve the broader community. I am interim director of the UC Field Center, which is arguably UC’s focal point for such environmental collaborations. Indeed I have been working on several other projects with Cincinnati Parks and Hamilton County Parks. In my role, I could also help to facilitate public outreach so that the Park has the greatest chance of success in its mission to steward Cincinnati Parks on behalf of the people of Cincinnati.
Sincerely,
Ken Petren

Burnet Woods Resolution 12/14/2020 10:00 pm
Whereas: Burnet Woods is a beautiful urban public greenspace in Cincinnati; and
Whereas: All of the park and its facilities should be made available to all members of the Cincinnati community -- not to a single private enterprise that services a small number of the city’s residents (even though we agree strongly with the vision of the Camping and Educational Foundation (CEF)); and
Whereas: The two buildings proposed by the CEF would obstruct and clutter the scenic entrance to the park, cutting into a pristine hillside and obstructing or eliminating the old growth trees and other native plants important to birds and other wildlife;
Be it therefore resolved: That the Board of the Cincinnati Wild Flower Preservation Society, which represents its over 200 members, strongly recommends that the Cincinnati Park Board turn down the current proposal by the CEF (presented at the recent Clifton Town Meeting and scheduled to be presented at your upcoming meeting) to construct the two buildings across the street from the Trailside Center.
Resolution passed by Cincinnati Wild Flower Preservation Society Board by a vote of 8-0 with one abstention.

Dear Cincinna Board of Parks Commissioners (Brad Lindner, James Goetz, Linda Castellini, Linda Lee Thomas, and Kevin Flynn) - My name is Laura Murphy and I am a parent who is looking for nature-based programs in schools and public lands that prepare my child to help defend human existence from the imminent threat of climate change. CEF is the wrong choice for partnership with Cincinna Parks and the University of Cincinna for the following reasons:
· Poor record of serving “urban youth”. Urban youth have never been given access to CEF’s private, very costly camp in MN. Why has CEF failed to engage their target demographic for feedback or work with students at Hughes High School down the street from Burnet? · Appropria on of Na ve American cra and culture. From CEF’s website, their woodcra is “Rooted in Na ve American tradi ons and dis lled from the curriculum developed by naturalist and author Ernest Thompson Seton”. In addi on to woodworking handbooks, Seton wrote books like “Two Li le Savages” and the “The Gospel of the Red Man: An Indian Bible”. This author has le a legacy of harm through ushering in 100 years of white youth “playing Indian” in scou ng groups across the country. · Crisis of culture. CEF says they want to a ract more people to the Parks, and more diversity. They are already failing by showing their bias with exploi ve use of language like “urban youth” and “Na ve American values”. What they’ve go en away with, with 99% white staff and camp goers on a remote island will not work in a diverse, urban community. I grew up on Bishop Street, right next to Burnet Woods. Trailside Nature Center is a true gem, for the en re city. It has been locked the majority of my life. Why? How can the Parks rebuild trust with the People? Not by selling public land to the highest bidder. Engage community, bring in ar sts and teachers, listen to the next genera on of social jus ce fighters and Earth defenders. Let the People guide the use of public lands and decide what the outdoor and nature-based educa on of the future should be made of.

I am opposed to the proposal by the Camping and Education Foundation to construct a building in Burnet Woods. Urban greenspace is a precious resource that provides habitat, improves air quality and increases property values. Birds and pollinators are declining due to habitat loss and climate change.

Dear Cincinnati Board of Parks Commissioners (Brad Lindner, James Goetz, Linda Castellini, Linda Lee Thomas, and Kevin Flynn) -
My name is Megan Elicker and I am a resident of Cincinnati. I am writing to you to express my deep concern over the proposed plans to allow a private organization, The Camping & Education Foundation (CEF,) to develop in Burnet Woods. Members of Preserve Burnet Woods were aware of the original plans in 2018, and were vocal about their opposition to private development in the park at that time. I share Preserve Burnet Woods and the surrounding community’s concerns about the negative environmental impact of the proposed development. I am also deeply troubled by the implications of a private organization building on public resources. It is disheartening to realize that the overwhelming community feedback that was provided in 2018, must be restated.
Since March of this year, my daughter and I have walked through Burnet Woods 5 days a week for some respite from the pandemic. Burnet Woods has been a wonderful oasis where we can get lost in nature and forget that we live in a busy urban area. My 3 year old daughter has learned so much about nature from these visits. Burnet Woods is special because it is such a natural place - best left undisturbed by development. And I would be very upset to see a WPA era concession building demolished for an even larger structure encroaching on the lake and natural forest.
I urge you to stay true to the mission of Cincinnati Parks to conserve and maintain our public natural resources and protect what we have for future generations. Please vote against this proposed development against our unique urban forests.

Dear Cincinna Board of Parks Commissioners (Brad Lindner, James Goetz, Linda Castellini, Linda Lee Thomas, and Kevin Flynn), My name is Emily Imhoff and I am a resident of Cincinna and frequent user of Cincinna Parks. I am wri ng to you to express my concern over the proposed plans to allow the private organiza on, The Camping & Educa on Founda on (CEF,) to develop in Burnet Woods. At a mee ng with the Park Commissioners in 2018 I stood up to voice my opposi on to such construc on in the park, and my posi on has not changed. I know many individuals and organiza ons in the surrounding community share my concerns about the nega ve environmental impact of development in the park. The park has already been eaten away so much from its original size. Where does the development stop? Personally, I feel it should stop now, with any new structures going adjacent to the park or in currently-paved areas, rather than building on soil. We should be saving as many urban trees and greenspaces as we can - and Burnet Woods even has a dedicated ci zen group working relessly to care for the natural habitat in the park, which shows how valued it is. Further, I have concerns about the CEF organiza on itself being affiliated with Cincinna Parks. When I first heard about CEF during 2018, I was under the impression that it was a Na ve American organiza on. But others have expressed to me since then that it is not, but is simply using aspects of Na ve cultures to promote itself. This is deeply troubling to me, if true, and I feel strongly against suppor ng groups using this strategy. Note that I do NOT oppose the use of the park by groups of children for the purposes of learning about nature! I do support other local groups doing this sort of ac vity with kids who otherwise might not get to enjoy nature. It is the development of a structure on the property and possibly CEF itself that I oppose. I urge you to protect the forest we have for future genera ons. Please vote against this proposed development against our unique urban forest.

Honorable Commissioners:
I oppose CEF in Burnet Woods and urge you to terminate plans to allow it.
I am active in community affairs and serve as a Trustee on the Board of Clifton Town Meeting, which is on record opposing CEF building in Burnet Woods. I own a home and business a block from the park and belong to the Clifton Business Association.
Outside of those offices, I have lived in Clifton for over sixty years.
I personally am an ardent supporter of Cincinnati Parks and applaud the good work of the Parks Commission, whose fruits I have enjoyed over the last seven decades. However, I do not support CEF building in Burnet Woods.
A CEF building in Burnet Woods is simply a bad idea because
It destroys green space and an historic structure and to no purpose Building canoes is not nature education. It’s woodcraft. You don’t need a lake to build canoes, only to test them City parks are the property of the public, and this deprives it of its use Pursuit of such an obviously bad idea with its pronounced public opposition will damage the Parks Commission's reputation, undermine its support by the public, and reflect poorly on Mayor Cranley’s judgement. No community group supports it If not the community, whom is the Parks Commission serving?
Please, for the welfare of Burnet Woods and the credibility of the Parks Commission, prohibit building new private structures now!

Cynthia Duval Wed 12/16/2020 2:56 PM To: Parks, Cincy
To the Cincinna Park Board of Commissioners – I am speaking for myself personally, and not in my role as President of Preserve Burnet Woods (PBW). I am opposed to the construc on of a standalone new workshop for the Camping & Educa on Founda on (CEF) for the reasons contained in the pe on put forth by Preserve Burnet Woods, and for all reasons previously stated in the opposi on of PBW to the standalone building proposal for the Cli on Cultural Arts Center. Further, I am opposed to new construc on in Burnet Woods for any private en ty. In this specific regard, the workaround that the CEF building may be owned by Cincinna Parks upon comple on is circus play. Its purpose and design is for sole benefit of CEF and it would be a Parks building only in tle, not in effec ve public use. Parks have a dedicated purpose for the public enjoyment of greenspace as crucial to quality of life. Sufficient structures already exist in the limited acreage of Burnet Woods to facilitate community celebra on and gathering for public purposes. It is simultaneously difficult to believe that we are in this same space again that we were in the Art Museum two years ago, and completely expected having watched the wheels turn since that day. I do not relish this conflict with CEF. I do not enjoy being put in the posi on of conflict with the Park Board. I loathe being in direct confronta on with Commissioner Goetz, with whom I had developed good rapport as the Board’s representa ve in many discussions and mee ngs. I enjoy even less the awkward posi on it puts all of Parks staff in to navigate the middle path trying to do their jobs. These are all fine people that appear to be caught in a me loop on this topic of new private buildings in the park. Transcending all of that, and most importantly, is that this conflict does not serve Burnet Woods and the communi es surrounding the Park. However, being told privately that Burnet Woods will not get Park Board budget dollars or Founda on fundraising dollars if CEF does not get this building, hearing community stakeholders dismissed in a mee ng, and hearing public comment discouraged in a community council mee ng is unacceptable. It undermines the community interest in public space and the faith in the Park Board as a board of public trust. I cannot be silent. Presenta on of a new CEF proposal which misstates the Board’s own vote as unanimously in support of CEF’s proposal in December 2018 (It was not. Commissioner Thomas voted against con nuance of the CEF discussions.), ignores condi ons of the MOU, manipulates community feedback items as sugar sprinkles to coat a conflict point, and disregards the most major facet of community feedback is unacceptable. I cannot be silent. We are here again in conflict directly because of CEF. Community feedback for a new private building for CCAC may have been divided, but it is unanimous against CEF – this building in Burnet Woods is not wanted. It will not have community support. It will undermine the network of volunteers suppor ng the Park that has been growing con nuously over the last two years. It will undermine any fundraising a empts for addi onal Park enhancements and invasive work as people will not want to donate to CEF’s Park, which is what Burnet Woods will become. And frankly, it will be a daily gut-punch to walk past a building in the Park for an organiza on that so clearly does not care about the Park itself or the communi es around it. If they did, we would not be at this crossroad. If they did, they would have engaged this community in the last two years with exemplary public programming in Burnet Woods. They have not. That they are pursuing this course a er sta ng themselves that they do not need this building and that they would not build it if the community did not want it is the deepest hypocrisy. Speaking to the other items in the proposal aside from the building:
Playscapes and trail enhancements – these are not offerings from CEF to Cincinna Parks. Under the MOU, Cincinna Parks would be responsible for these enhancements as ‘public improvement’. These are desired community feedback items being co-opted and characterized to fit the CEF aesthe c in the name of a sales pitch. Parks can design these in its own style and the community can work with the Founda on to fund these in a way that will grow community spirit around the Park. CEF is unnecessary for these enhancements. The updated CEF plan is being purported as a Parks plan. I requested documenta on on it twice and Parks staff did not have a copy of it un l this last 2-3 weeks. This is not a Parks plan. Nor is a Parks Master Plan usually developed by a small, siloed student group funded by a private founda on with a specific objec ve to include a private building in a park. This is a private takeover in substance, if not in tle, of a public space, and a manipula on of the rela onship with the U.C. student community and Parks to accomplish it. CEF is as unnecessary as they choose to be in collabora ve programming going forward without their own separate building. They have stated that their programming with Cincinna Parks does not depend on this building. If that is not true, there are other partnerships available which provide similar programming that are not reques ng separate accommoda on on public land. This may even be an opportunity to expand accessible programming into adap ve kayaking with be.well or V.A. Veterans programs as different partners. While CEF may want installed campsites and campfire rings for a few days of usage per year, maintenance of these sites will fall on Parks staff daily. That CEF fails to consider the ramifica on of these installa ons in an urban park is clear. Parks staff has had to have police remove 2 homeless camps from the park in the last two weeks. Graffi & li er mi ga on are constants that require volunteer support regularly. Can parks commit to monitoring a campsite for li er, graffi , unauthorized use, and ‘le hot’ campfires on a daily basis in Burnet Woods through all seasons? I am horrified that had it not been for two accidents in conversa on, no one in the community would have known about this updated proposal reaching the Park Board un l this past Monday – and only then because of the ridiculous level of vigilance I have applied personally to staying informed about this Park. That is not transparency – a word used as a goal in Park Board mee ngs consistently. That Park Board documents are not available for public feedback greater than 72 hours before a Park Board mee ng has been a con nuing conflict point in the last two years.
Over the last two years, I have worked personally with many members of the execu ve team and Parks staff. I have watched Parks staff undertake new volunteer ini a ves, apply new tools and social media tac cs, begin discussion of Explore Nature revision and reorganize to maximize resources. You have AMAZING PEOPLE! These are exci ng discussions that show incredible vision and ability to collaborate with volunteers from the staff put in place over the last 2-3 years. The prospect of a transparent project submission process is exci ng! Invest the energy being put into CEF into building Parks own staff ini a ves and vision. Please give them me to work their vision without this interference of conflict. Over the last two years, I have helped further a strong community love for the habitat in this park and unprecedented volunteer commitment to its well-being. I have helped PBW innovate training programs for invasive species removal, start new collabora ons with UC students to provide programming for underserved students at Rockdale Academy, organize community events, normalize li er pick-up, and take ownership for outreach to bring the different communi es around the park together to make this an amazing park. Please let us con nue this rally of community for support without the distrac on of this conflict. Let our community have some peace by releasing CEF from their idea of this building in Burnet Woods that is not of public benefit, is not wanted, and which they themselves say they do not need for their mission. It is not on Cincinna Parks to solve what amounts to an opera onal convenience issue for a private non-profit at the expense of public greenspace.

Good afternoon -
Attached please find an updated copy of the signature log for the Preserve Burnet Woods petition against the proposal of a standalone structure being constructed in Burnet Woods for the Camping and Education Foundation. This document -
adds approximately 188 signatures to the prior log adds 14 pages to the prior log adds 80 unique comments to the prior log
Please add this to the public comment record under the same requests as the prior petition and signature log was submitted. Should anyone wish an updated log count prior to the public meeting on 12/17, the petition is accessible here. This petition is approximately 7 days old. As a point of reference, the 2018 petition against CCAC and CEF accrued just over 3,250 signatures in six months. This is how hard Preserve Burnet Woods has worked to surround this Park with love and hope from our community through authentic relationship building in the last two years.

Preserve Burnet Woods is opposed to the construction of a new standalone workshop for the Camping and Education Foundation in Burnet Woods. It is our position that this construction would pose significant environmental damage to Burnet Woods, negatively impact the historic aesthetic of the Park and recharacterize the Park to fit the mission of a private foundation with little to no public benefit for the surrounding community or the Park itself. The changes to the CEF plan are a break with the understanding set forth to the community and memorialized by the Memorandum of Understanding with the Park Board that CEF would utilize Trailside Nature Center, with renovations to accommodate that purpose, as well as make Trailside Nature Center more universally accessible. Changes to the CEF plan for a standalone structure were done without transparency and without community engagement.
Preserve Burnet Woods has gathered a petition to stop the development of a standalone workshop for the Camping and Education Foundation in Burnet Woods. Additional reasons for our objection to the updated CEF proposal are contained therein. Attached is a copy of that petition and the accompanying signature log. This petition is new and is NOT the same petition presented to you in 2018. While we are continuing to gather signatures on this petition, of note is that -
the attached signature log contains 3,218 signatures as of this date/time the attached signature log is 185 pages in length the attached signature log contains 871 unique comments
We enter this petition as a whole into the Public Comment log for the Park Board of Commissioners meeting on 12/17, on which this topic is on agenda, and for any subsequent public comment date should this meeting date be changed or the topic continued to a later meeting.

Cynthia Duval Interim President, Preserve Burnet Woods
Cincinnati Park Board of Commissioners,
3407 people have signed a petition on Action Network telling you to Tell the Cincinnati Park Board to vote No on the new CEF Building Proposal in Burnet Woods.
Here is the petition they signed:
Please reject the new proposal from the Camping and Education foundation to construct a standalone workshop in Burnet Woods. This building is an unnecessary invasion of private interest on vital urban greenspace and a detriment to the ecological habitat of the park.
You can view each petition signer and the comments they left you below.

Every Saturday in the summer my Father and I would walk in the park and I’d go down the giant stone slide. Then we’d get a hotdog at the concession stand building. Occasionally we’d rent a paddle boat and go out on the lake. This is a special, special place for past and future Cliftonites and their families.

87. Amy Forrester (ZIP code: 45039) Grew up in Clifton - spent many memorable hours picnicking, visiting the Nature Center, whooshing down the concrete slide, looking for spring wildflowers along the trails. Greenspace in urban areas is a precious and irreplaceable resource and Cincinnati is a community blessed to have a place like Burnet Woods to provide such a beautiful and rich habitat to its residents. Don't compromise that asset that everyone can enjoy, by infringing on it with development for private commercial interests. I am categorically opposed to this proposal to build a new CEF Urban Wilderness Center building in Burnet Woods.

170. Amy (ZIP code: 45122) I lived in the Gaslight District for ten years until this last January. I’m VERY grateful for my time in Burnet Woods. I learned to get healthy hiking, enjoyed the scenery to help me through depression, learned about botany and loved that so much of the park was still NATURAL and wasn’t invaded by new development. It was a great luxury to live across from a very public park that still felt private. I frequently discovered new areas hiking because of the size of the park.
Please let the city enjoy this space as the gem it is. It is not perfect, but it is a space for the people of the city. It shouldn’t be for sale in any way. It’s one of the last great green spaces in that area. Plus, there’s already buildings that are severely underutilized in Burnet Woods. I have NEVER been inside the current building there because it was never open. Don’t waste more space and money to create something the people who frequent the park don’t want.

I've had birthdays and and dates as I became older. It's also a favorite place of myself and my partner now that I am grown.

324. Robert Bergstein (ZIP code: 45220) Date Dec 15, 2020 From Robert D Bergstein to the Members of the Park Board, Introduction - I strongly oppose the construction of the proposed building near Burnet Lake. In fact, after speaking recently to the head of the Camping and Education Foundation, Hugh Haller, I am opposed to this group building in any of our City Parks. He wants a private building in prime location for his own group’s private use. I have no animosity towards anyone involved in this Proposal, who I think are fine and well- intentioned, but feel the whole project is misguided and not beneficial to Cincinnati Parks. An Aside -While I was at the Friday December 11 meeting described below, a citizen known and liked by literally all in Cincy , jogged by. I stopped him and spoke to him. He said he knew the Camping and Education was fine, and that he knew them personally, but they shouldn’t build in Burnet Woods. He said they can buy any nearby house and build their canoe in the garage. An Aside- I spoke to another scientist at a well-known museum who said they shouldn’t build a private building in a public park. Not very complicated.
History On Sunday Dec 6, I first heard about the renewed proposal for a lakeside building, as I was hiking in Burnet Woods. A member of Preserve Burnet Woods handed me a half sheet with info about the building, and describing the proposed final Park Board vote on Dec 17! On Monday Dec 7, I attended the Clifton Town Meeting by Zoom on Monday Dec 7. There was a partial plan presented by Park Board Member Jim Goetz and Director Kara Kish. I would say this was not well received, due to the late notice to the citizens and the proposal was similar to one that had been vehemently opposed in 2018 by many, many people, and many community groups including CTM (which passed a motion against it) Then as now, most people thought “Private buildings do not belong in public parks.” I believe Kara Kish and Jim Goetz were not involved with Cincinnati Parks at this time, so probably did not know this. On Friday Dec 11, I attended a live in-person meeting (hastily arranged by the Burnet Woods Park Advisory Council (BPAC), I believe). The location was the proposed building site. There were about 45 people there, including Director of the Camping and Education Foundation Hugh Haller, Park Director Kara Kish, Park Board Member Jim Goetz, Steve Schuckman, many park employees, as well as some citizens and members of community groups. There was no real presentation of the building plan, no blueprint, no marking of where the building would be, no real statement by any park person as to the benefit to the park-going public of this building to be located in the park, no explanation of why they were in favor of this building, no statement that it would benefit park goers, no statement about any financial benefit to the Park System about this project. No statement that this project will be a significant impact on the nature education of children. No statement that the Camping and Education Foundation do a better job teaching actual canoeing that the park staff, or the Sierra Club, or REI, who I believe could (and would) do this … General Statements to the Group with Mr. Goetz and others Mr. Goetz stated that several years ago, the parks had decided on a policy of partnering with outside groups. (I somewhat agree, but this project is not one.) (Partnering with any outside group that wants to build a private building, requires a MUCH higher standard. Eg. a one-day course on fossils taught by UC geology is a good partnership, building a permanent UC building in Burnet Woods, closed most of the time, and with no public access is a bad partnership. See below for my idea of successful partnerships) On the complaint of quick timeline from notification to final Park Board Vote, I believe Mr. Goetz informed the group that they were not rushing this project. Mr. Goetz stated that the Cincinnati Parks have been working privately with the Camping and Education Foundation for four years. To me, this makes it worse. The parks have been working for four years on an idea, that they know many citizens oppose, and they try to push this through without informing the public. An Aside: There were many Park employees at the live meeting. As every employee certainly understands, employees in a meeting with their bosses present, will not freely state their true feelings about the merit of a proposal. I know personally that there was more than one employee present at this meeting who was NOT in favor of this project. They said nothing. My Conversation with Mr. Haller I spoke with Mr. Hugh Haller, (the director of the Camping and Education Foundation, who proposes to build the new building) privately for five minutes towards the end of the meeting. I tried to understand the use of the building. He confirmed half is a workshop, half for (indoor!) canoe storage. This is a single use building, for the exclusive use of the Camping and Education Building. My understanding from him was that the building would not be staffed full time, and not sure if it would be staffed at all, except when they were working on building a canoe. For people walking in the park, the building would typically not be open, the restroom in the building (which would be a great benefit to everyone) not public, there are no displays or anything to see if you do enter the building. No benefit unless you are one of 10(?) working on building a Canoe. And who has signed these people up, Cincy Parks or CEF? Who are fees paid to? I asked about the winter hours. He said they might have 10 kids come over after school to work. So open 2 hours a day, and these hours, are not for the public. Apparently, the hours may be set by CEF alone. Not sure of the weekend hours, not specified in writing. I think it takes several weeks for a group to build a canoe. So we talking about a very small number of students, or citizens being impacted by the experience. IMPORTANT- Mr. Haller stated to me that it was the most important aspect of a group building a canoe together was the bonding! While true, this does not really require either Canoe Building or a separate single use building within the park. Bonding can occur by bird watching, hiking, camping, crafts, actually most regular events where one can make friends. As far as the use of the canoes stored in the building, I doubt they would be used on a winter day, so no reason to have them stored inside and onsite. I believe Burnet Woods Park itself would not have access to the Canoes for their own programs. (Are there agreements from CEF that the building will be open noon- 7pm every day to rent canoes to the public?. Cost? Who keeps the money? Could Cincy Parks do this themselves, Hamilton County does) Mr. Haller said presently that CEM are building canoes in local schools, (which is fine, but is this a reason that their private building should be in a public park with a minimal benefit to the general public.) I also asked him if his group wouldn’t instead rather contribute financially to help build the nice lakeside plaza/playground which would benefit all visitors, (he was not interested in this at all. He wanted their CEM own building.) I tried to find if there was a benefit to our local kids to this project for local kids, considering that the main work of the CEM is a multi-week camp in Northern Minnesota. The cost for a four-week session is $5200 plus transportation. I am sure the camp is great if you can afford it. Hugh said they do have some free scholarships that would be available to a small number of Cincinnati kids, which is very nice, but these scholarships do not depend on a building in Burnet. My mistake- I may have offended him by suggesting that CEM could contribute to a nice plaza by the lake, with CEF name. I was hoping that his group would help finance a nice plaza by the lake which would be strongly supported by local citizens. Correctly Naming rights didn’t persuade him. My mistake- I suggested that this project was not supported by the local Clifton community. He correctly noted that this is a city park for the benefit of all of Cincinnati citizens, not just those in Clifton, which is true. I do feel that this building would not be a significant improvement to the park for any visitor, since it would have not have public access during most hours, no restrooms, no displays, and thus of little benefit to any visitor to the park. And my guess is that 50% of the visitors to Burnet live within one mile, so this project is, in fact, more important to people who live nearby. My conversation with Jim Goetz- When I later asked Park Board member Jim Goetz about hours and access, I believe he said these details (?) haven’t been discussed with CEM . It should be expected that the Park Board would know ALL of the details about the whole project, before voting on construction. Including the hours, the staffing, the services to be provided to public, financial benefit to the park, financial costs to the parks, improved services to park goers. Utility cost, increased Insurance Costs for boating Etc and that these “details” would be fully agreed for 10 or 20 years term. These details should all be discussed publicly and presented for public discussion, before the Park Board decides to build a new building. (eg. What will the Cincy Parks do with a single use building, if they are unhappy with the services provided, or CEM shortens hours, or no one goes canoeing?) Current Successful Partnerships with Outside Groups- Earlier I mentioned I am in favor of some partnerships between Cincinnati Parks and outside groups. These must be beneficial to both Cincinnati Parks and the outside group 1. By far, the best example of a successful Partnership between Cincinnati Parks and an outside group is between Cincinnati Parks and “Preserve Burnet Woods.” In 2018, Preserve Burnet Woods was formed mainly to oppose the two new buildings planned within Burnet Woods. These buildings were thought not appropriate for a public park since they would have had a negative impact on the Park’s natural areas. As an accidental consequence of the Preserve Burnet Woods formation, there was a reenergization of a plan by concerned citizens and nature organizations to restore the natural areas of Burnet Woods and other Cincinnati Parks. This is an immense project due to the long-term (25 years) neglect of the natural areas of our Cincinnati Parks, which I believe is acknowledged by all. The benefit of the partnership to Cincinnati Parks is the restoration natural landscape of the plants, trees and wildlife of Burnet Woods. The benefit of the partnership to “Preserve Burnet Woods” is exactly the same. The restoration of our natural landscape. With volunteers actually working to maintain our Parks. (Preserve Burnet Woods (with support of other Nature groups) are volunteering every month, clearing invasive plants from Burnet Woods. In 2020, Preserve Burnet Woods has done about $30,000 worth of volunteer restoration in Burnet Woods! Within 2 years, the landscape should be much more natural, open woodlands, and native plants returning.) (disclaimer) I am a member of PBW and a volunteer, not a board member. This is a successful collaboration! 2. In Sept 2020, while we were working removing invasive plants, there was a group of volunteers from a charitable group, helping severely handicapped people along the roads and trails at Burnet, so they could enjoy the natural beauty of the park. I wish I remembered the name of their group, as they were/are an inspiration to me in the kindness and care they showed. This is a successful collaboration! 3. While hiking on a Sunday afternoon in Oct 2020, we encountered an outside charitable group picking up litter within the park. This is a successful collaboration! 4. Free Sunday Morning Bird hikes and Free Sunday afternoon Plant hikes by Preserve Burnet Woods This is a successful collaboration!
5. A private building in a prime location by the lake for their own programs This is a not a successful collaboration! Sincerely, Robert D. Bergstein , 513-477-4438 [email protected] End of comment

During the walk, she talked about her activities during summer day camp and retraced those memories to me. This is what Burnet Woods means to Clifton.

433. Benjamin Sandlin (ZIP code: 45103) I am a science enthusiast and I know that taking things away from the earth is very harmful to the environment. The loss of a natural habitat for this park is the last thing that the city needs and it could cause a lot of disruption! The trees in this area are known to help keep the city air clean, and reduce the amount of pollution for the city. Please do not take anything away from this park! This would be a BIG risk for the park and for the city of Cincinnati.
434. Benjamin Skove (ZIP code: 45220) I live in Clifton and feel that this proposal would disrupt the park setting and is contrary to previous decisions to limit development.

Arturo Araya (ZIP code: 45220) While I understand the desire to share in the blessing that is Burnet Wood, allowing private development to take place, even if it appears in the ostensibly benign form of a "workshop", the fact remains that now is not the time to allow our public lands to continue be farmed out to private enterprise. We need to keep our commitments to preserve Burnet Woods and all Cincinnati Parks as nature preserves, without fear of annexation by private enterprise by fiat.

563. Chelsea Ker (ZIP code: 45220) Burnet Woods is an absolute gem of the Univeristy heights and Clifton area. It should be protected and preserved at all costs. It’s a beautiful environment where you can be walking down the street and the in 5 minutes you’re completely immersed in woods without another person around. It is precious and not worth developing.

633. Craig Lloyd (ZIP code: 45219-1008) Burnet Woods is one of the city's smaller parks that sits amid some of the highest population density in the city. As such it is a natural oasis where buildings need to be secondary to the environment. The existing structures were built low and used materials that were harmonious and unobtrusive. They could be renovated using similar materials. Trailside can be updated again to make use of its ample space. Bigger structures to house what is probably a trend coming from an outside entity are not appropriate to this fragile piece of property in a university neighborhood.

The spring wild flowers are spectacular, the cool shade makes summer bearable, the autumn colors are not to be missed, and the frozen winter pond is striking. Please do not disturb this almost wild space any more. We all need more green space, not less; leave the trees alone!
736. Daniel Gross (ZIP code: 75248) To: Cincinnati Park Board of Commissioners From: Daniel Gross
Please reject the new proposal from the Camping and Education foundation to construct a standalone workshop in Burnet Woods. This building is an unnecessary invasion of private interest on vital urban greenspace and a detriment to the ecological habitat of the park.

This construction will negatively impact urban forest habitat and environmental quality for years to come.
This construction will result in the demolition of a historic WPA-era fieldstone structure. Designed by Carl Freund, the building is an interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Organic Modernism. Freund’s work corresponded with the influx of public funding and labor from Depression-Era New Deal programs that resulted in extensive works in Cincinnati’s public parks.
Cincinnati’s park system is revered as one of the best in the United States. Please, let’s continue this legacy!

831. Don Crouse (ZIP code: 45244) Urban green spaces are an important and valuable resource for humans and wildlife alike. From migratory birds, to a habitat for countless species, a way to clean the air, a respite from concrete, steel and asphalt.

897. Ed Gutfreund (ZIP code: 45232) Please add my response to those thousands of cincinnati residents who oppose the proposed building in Burnet Woods Park. I attended the meeting and heard CEF say they would not build if the community did not want it. It seems crystal clear the community does not want. This strategy of short notice process on their part and the Park board is offensive to citizens who have contributed untold hours to preserve the part and make collaborative decisions. Please honor the principles which have bee published and agree upon concerning community engagement and respect for community opinion. Thank you. Ed Gutfreund

So shame on you for trying to get rid of a public space that is already becoming limited in our day for money. And may the lord be in your heart to show you how mean, and selfish and heartless your actions are for trying to over run a popular place. This park is amongst one of the most popular parks for UC students. I hope your days get better, your life has more love, and your mind becomes more connected. Until you learn to love you will never be happy and chasing money will never be enough to keep you happy forever.

Emily Kaufman (ZIP code: 45225-1368) This urban green space is crucial to the health and well-being of many local residents, particularly those who don't have cars and can't easily access other parks. I bike my toddler here several times a week and we walk around the lake and enjoy nature. We've heard wealthy folks say, "just drive to another park" but we and many others can't do that, and would be devastated to lose any of this beloved park.

1156. William Gordon (ZIP code: 45220) 1. The role of public parks is for public use, and this facility will not be regularly open for public use. 2. The actual impact of this project on Burnet Woods will be greater than just the building, because of the planned camping space and camping rings, which will further reduce the amount of space in Burnet Woods for public use. 3. CEF has said that it would not pursue a project without community support. The Clifton community is OPPOSED to this project.

1171. Gerald Checco (ZIP code: 45220-1616) 1- Unlike CCAC who had lots of support from members of our neighborhoods (plural), CEF seems to have none. 2- During the contentious debate about CCAC, CEF said that they did not want to be in a park that had a tumultuous engagement with the community. 3- CEF said several times that they did not need a building but could use part of the unused Trailside, 4- The work of MSD is probably not going to happen in the next 10 or 20 years (too many other projects are more urgent) and when this work happens, it will minimally impact Trailside and its potential CEF addition. 5- In a fragile environmental state, the activities proposed by CEF are far worse than any of the activities that have been denied recently, based on environmental reasons. Plenty of literature about negative impact of these activities on the environment, particularly fragile environments. 6- CEF is a seasonal activity that could be easily happen across the street on UC's campus that has plenty of Arts workshop spaces, or with a mobile unit (idea presented at the CTM meeting by others), This mobile unit would also have added benefits of being able to reach kids into the neighborhoods they live in. 7- The previous Community Engagement for CEF had very different parameters. 8- The proposed building design is simply atrocious which is a proof that Parks staff is not supporting the concept but that it is imposed on them. 9- The "green washing" of the proposed building is lamentable. for example, removing perfectly good concrete (that has already produced its carbon footprint) with a wooden deck, only adds carbon footprint 10- It is never a good idea to create neighborhood wars instead of finding win-win outcome, especially when so much needs to be done to support this and other parks.

Please do not rush forward with the CEF building in Burnet Woods. It is a gem of a park that provides crucial habitat in our urban area. The public knows too little about it, and major community organizations are opposed to it.
If nothing else, table the vote until - the public has more information and more input - the benefits of this project, fully disclosed and evaluated, can be weighed against its environmental costs and the parks' other capital and maintenance needs and - alternate locations -- perhaps in larger parks or with less habitat value-- can be evaluated.
Thank you. Ann Hubbard, 230 Lafayette Circle

This proposal is being pushed through during a pandemic, at a time when many people are unaware of what is happening in their local parks. Another building is not necessary in Burnet Woods. Burnet Woods is an urban oasis in what is otherwise a very urban area. It is important, for both wildlife and the enjoyment of people, for this Urban area to remain as natural as possible. CEF is welcome to have programs in Burnet woods, but they should come up with programs that can be offered without adding another building to the park.

Not to mention what the park meant to the gay community. All that means absolutely nothing. It mow comes down to money and the University land barony and the LAW. So the word is out to those in the legal community to finally put an end to this constant land grab. Jump in ladies and gentlemen of the Bar. These people can only be stopped in a court.

Appointed by the Mayor, they don’t represent the public as a vetted, elected candidate for the seat would. These are no longer “independent commissions.” Time to start over with a method of better selection for commissioners who are experts in the sectors they serve.

1406. Jason Long (ZIP code: 45227) The preserved land of Burnet Woods is quintessential to the makeup of the city of Cincinnati. The land serves many people who live in the urban core and don’t have a close by nature park. It gives workers and students in CUF and Clifton a place to unwind for lunch, and even offers parking. It provides citizens with countless activities, and holds treasures like the planetarium at the nature center. It is an important spot for migratory birds and our local ecosystems. The history of Burnet Woods is a focal point to the development of parks in Cincinnati and the rest of Ohio. Because of the detrimental effect that further development of the land would have on our environment, our city, and our parks system, I hereby am signing this petition, and begging the Commissioners to really consider how little need there is to use any area of the park for the proposed building.

1409. Jay Twomey (ZIP code: 45220) We love Burnet Woods, and take advantage of park events once in a while. My young son and I often hike the trails and we enjoy walking around the pond. I traverse the park on my way to and from work. It's an oasis, a local treasure. But it's also a parking lot for UC students and others. What's more, the proximity of a busy business corridor and student housing means that it can be noisy and more polluted than one would hope. All of which is to say that Burnet Woods is already at risk. Don't contribute to its further diminishment. I urge you to reject any new development within or on the margins of the park.

1580. Jazmine Applegate (ZIP code: 45246) Burnet woods is extremely significant to the students of the University of Cincinnati. Where else is there a WALKING distance park filled with hiking trails, resting areas, a pond, and a large area of wildlife? It is an oasis in a busy college town. University students need this park, not another building.
1581. Judy Ashton (ZIP code: 45220) No! This city park green space should not be disturbed for building additional structures. I live in the neighborhood and am vehemently opposed!

1590. Jaqui Brumm (ZIP code: 45208) I strongly oppose the construction of any additional facilities of any kind at Burnet Woods. That Greenspace needs to be left alone for the plants and animals that currently use it as it is. I’m including humans in the word animals. The volunteer groups that are helping to remove the invasives and to teach about the trees and birds that are there are doing tremendous work. Please support them with your votes instead by voting against any further construction ideas at Burnet Woods. I took a walk there last week and it was a delightful break from the COVID and the politics that are currently clogging our emotional and physical systems. We need more natural, native green areas to help us survive, not less. Please vote no and reject the Camping and Education proposal. You voted down the Clifton Arts Center and this is no different. Thank you, Jaqui Brumm

1663. Karen Andrew (ZIP code: 45223) Burnet Woods is a small urban park and it has one very small lake. It does not need any more buildings -it already has a nature center. There is no good reason to build any more buildings especially to house canoes. The lake is too small to canoe, kayak, and boat in, even too small for canoe classes. The building will be an eyesore. Nearby residents, employees of nearby businesses and university students appreciate the natural beauty of this park and use it for walking and running around the lake and on the trails, picnicking, and nature classes. We don't need any construction there except to repair the road and facilities. We don't need any other buildings built in there. This park is a nature refuge in the middle of the city for Cincinnati citizens and visitors. It's also a positive feature for nearby the neighborhood homes and buildings. Please don't ruin it with a building that will not benefit the real users of this park.

1746. Helen Kemper (ZIP code: 45220) As a Clifton resident, Burnet Woods is basically in my backyard. It is a wonderful greenspace that attracts people from all over, as a place of respite and recreation. To compromise this space for private programming is unjust and unfair. There is no reason why the already existing Nature Center in Burnet cannot be utilized for additional programming. Adding a new structure to the park would just eradicate precious land and habitat that has been preserved for decades. The surrounding community has consistently opposed new construction in the park and we stand by our mission. It's unfair to sacrifice a beloved public space for private interests, and this proposal would absolutely not benefit the community at large. I hope the park board votes no to this proposal and sets a precedent for the preservation of our park for years to come.

1760. Katie Stewart (ZIP code: 45220) I am a resident of Clifton and an outdoor professional. As such, I am a proponent of helping to make/keep the outdoors accessible to all and understand the immense value of outdoor learning experiences and I admire the mission of the Camping and Education Foundation. However, I do not support the demolition of the current historic structures at Burnet Woods, nor the construction of new buildings within the park.
Our city often fast-tracks development without enough thoughtful consideration as to the effects on the community and the environment. Burnet Woods truly is an urban forest oasis for wildlife and humans alike. While it may seem “scrubby” and “underutilized” it functions as a patch of genuine, relatively untouched forest ecosystem. So many people (myself included) and animals use this park as an escape from the surrounding city and its function as a refuge and haven cannot be understated. I am afraid hasty development at Burnet Woods sets a precedent that our parks are to be valued more for their acreage and location rather than what they contain, sustain, and provide.
While I believe Burnet Woods would benefit from thoughtful, considered improvements, I am confident there is a solution that maintains the ecological and historical integrity of Burnet Woods while still allowing for meaningful recreation and use. The current plan as it stands is not acceptable. Thank you.

Please spend money and give your support to public programs that are not subject to the whims, opinions, and agendas of private individuals or companies! Additionally, for multiple social, emotional, and environmental reasons we NEED GREENSPACE, not more buildings and concrete.

1786. Kit Anderson (ZIP code: 45226) I STRONGLY oppose locating the proposed CEF building in Burnet Woods Park!!!! This is yet another encroachment by private interests onto park land -- land which belongs to all of us. CEF does not need this building and the University of Cincinnati is just trying to expand into the park. DO NOT BUILD THIS IN BURNET WOODS.

1829. Kristan Hoffman (ZIP code: 45220) When CCAC and CEF both made their initial presentations a couple years ago, I was on the fence. I had friends on both sides and listened to their reasons. I went through the official presentation materials myself. I walked with my dog and my daughter through Burnet Woods, and thought about what it was, what it could be, what it should be. Ultimately I agreed with those who were arguing against new private buildings in the park, and I still agree with them now. There is no reason CEF cannot make use of the existing Trailside Nature Center, as they stated they would do. Furthermore, this hurried, bait-and-switch move weakens my trust in their organization to be friends of the Burnet Woods community and stewards of the park.

1832. Kristi O'Donnell (ZIP code: 98253) Dear Cincinnati Park Board: Burnett Woods is a vital nature reserve in the heart of the city and in my hometown neighborhood of Clifton. I agree with everything written in this posting. The stand alone for private interest CEF building is not needed and not appropriate. Please vote NO.
It would be a travesty to see the historic WPA building torn down and removed from public service.
Keep Burnett Woods alive for the natural habitat and nature programs, for kids of all ages.
I encourage you to fix up the park. When we visited in Dec. 2019 things looked really nice.
I fondly remember skating there, feeding the ducks, concerts in the park with the Cinti Pops and Marion Spellman, birthday parties in the picnic area, sliding down that slide! Snow sledding. Theatre in the rock sculpture. Nature study every summer! Collecting acorns and autumn leaves.
I was a volunteer crew leader for the original Green Up Day and for several years there after.
In 1976/77, when I was a horticulture student at Cinti State, I spoke to the City of Cincinnati Council in support of Park Funding in their budget, specifically to preserve the new trees Cinti Parks had just planted in Burnett Woods. That's where I met Park Board Volunteer Founder and Park Commissioner, Marlene Holwadel: a champion for Cincinnati Parks! She would be signing this letter today!
In addition to growing up in Cincinnati Parks, I was also an employee there from 1985-1993, at Krohn Conservatory and then as Assistant Supervisor of Horticulture.
Keep Clifton green and historically vital.
Thank you, Kristi O'Donnell

1837. Kendall Resseguie (ZIP code: 45434)
1838. Jason Krupar (ZIP code: 45209-1632) I am once again amazed and stunned at this last minute effort by the Park Board to impose an unwanted major transformation on Burnet Woods. The lack of input from surrounding citizen's and community organizations I find appalling and frankly undemocratic. It makes one wonder what the Board is attempting to hide from the tax-payers of the city and county. The lack of transparency and continual effort by the Board to overturn the vocal resistance of the neighborhood makes me think that the Board positions need to be made more responsive to the communities it allegedly serves. Perhaps it is time the Board be elected by the citizens of the city.

1886. Laura Tinker (ZIP code: 41075) This park is small enough and needs to remain a green space already in a jungle of buildings.

Having this green space in the heart of the city is part of what makes this area so special.

Especially during these trying times, Burnet Woods gave those quarantining and socially distancing a way to forget and grow from the turmoil. I hope you can see the value of preserving it as much as we can.

2106. William Hull (ZIP code: 45220) It is rare to have a "wild" space in the middle of an urban area. The benefits of such a space to the overall community can not be measured. No new buildings should be built. Any private organization that wants to use the park should make use of a physical structure outside of the park or be allowed to use the existing physical building. Any new buildings will greatly diminish the irreplaceable space that the community has with Burnet Woods. 2107.

This is not an appropriate place for a new, private construction.

2169. Maxime Lafond (ZIP code: 45220) As a member of the Clifton/UC community, I'd like to express my disagreement on a new, private construction in Burnet Woods. The Camping and Education Foundation is a private entity, whose interests are opposite to the community needs of urban greenspace, and contradicts previous commitments. I believe there are ZERO benefits of such a project to the community. On the contrary, Burnet Woods is the only access to nature that numerous non-driver students can access around UC. It is a fact that diminishing their access to nature by spoiling Burnet Woods with a new construction will directly impact their wellbeing and reduce their ways to cope in those trying and stressful times.

2178. Michael Barkett (ZIP code: 45220) Burnett Woods is a clifton staple. A spot for college students to retreat to when needing a slight glimpse of nature within the city. Many students do not have cars and are thus unable to travel to the great surrounding parks; making Burnett Woods their only option. On top of the students, the pond is a local gathering spot for many individuals to fish and congregate around, building the sense of community that Cincinnati thrives off of. Burnett Woods already lost all the land from MLK to Calhoun to developers. Do not make this mistake again and destroy the little slice of nature that still thrives in Clifton.

As I mother my daughters and I fed the ducks by the lake. There is no need for this building.

2281. Mikaela Mohr (ZIP code: 43081) Burnet Woods was where I did my environmental studies capstone project on bird biodiversity at UC. This is an extremely important urban forest in a highly urbanized city and is very important for migratory birds. Removing any area of it would be detrimental to local ecology and the rare migratory species that stopover on their trip north or south. Birding is also becoming a popular activity in the park. It is one of the only inner city areas that is easily accessible to local inner city residents. The Board needs to vote no one this issue. Protect urban canopy and species.

Burnet Woods should not be developed. It is a rare human respite in the heart of a gritty urban area. It is an important migratory stop for birds.
I implore you, DO NOT permit the “Camping and Education Foundation “ or any other organization to convert any portion of this valuable snd irreplaceable public natural space to its own private purposes.
Sincerely Melissa Kurzhals - Daily park visitor

2329. Mollie Wilke (ZIP code: 45220) Please reject the new proposal from the Camping and Education foundation to construct a standalone workshop in Burnet Woods.

2331. Michael Miller (ZIP code: 45211) As the smallest Important Birding Area in the US and completely surrounded by an urban grid, this preserve of green mature growth trees and much understory is critical habitat, not to be wasted on parking lots and more flat-toppeb buildings. No to development where alternatives exist in the area.
2332. Mary Sandomenico (ZIP code: 45014) Burnet woods is a cincinnati treasure which should not be diminished for the profit of developers.
2333. Mary Riestenberg (ZIP code: 45238) Keep Burnet Woods natural. It is a haven for birds, especially important during migration seasons. Buildings will reduce the already sparce areas for wildlife. Our parks are important!

Let's see those plans!!
2372. Maggie Schneider (ZIP code: 45220) I emphatically disagree with any development in Burnet Woods at this time without 100% neighborhood and community engagement. This is quite a surprise and continues the current distrust of the Cincinnati Park Board as it relates to Burnet Woods.

The CEF project in Burnet Woods is absolutely unnecessary,. There are much better alternatives like Mount Airy which is desperate for activation and already has existing pavilion spaces that could be perfect for boat building. The quality of life of your urban neighbors depends on you to provide them safe, well-maintained, activated parks.

2525. Kristen Mason (ZIP code: 45030) I am opposed to any private use facilities. This is a public park. All facilities available and build with in its parameters should be public buildings. If the Cincinnati park district wants to build a facility that is rented out to private individuals/organizations - that's OK, but privately owned buildings should not be on public lands.

2530. Mary Lou Arundell (ZIP code: 45220) I read the CEF website and all I conclude is this is a vanity project for someone who moved here from Minnesota and had connections with the program there. The structure proposed would seriously erode the nature of Burnet Woods opposite the Trailside Museum and next to the pond. The surreptitious manner in which this second proposal is being handled is demeaning and disrespectful to Cincinnati residents no matter where they live. I happen to live in Clifton but would oppose this on principle. The Park Board in considering this project is making an error in judgement with lasting ramifications.

2535. Patrick Schreiber (ZIP code: 45220) I DO NOT support the action to build the Camping & Education Foundation structure in Burnet Woods. As a lifelong Clifton Gaslight resident, the park is part of my community and open to everyone. Public land should not be used for private gain.
Knowing that there is a connection to UC, it will be like all of the other university funded projects and there will not be a long-term commitment to funding. The Camping & Education Foundation is a 'private' group based out of Hyde Park that runs outdoor camps in Minnesota, why aren't they looking at Ault Park as it is significantly larger and offers more space and parking? Moreso, I ask once again why are public funds being used to support a private organization?
This should never have even been considered.

2551. Pat Brown (ZIP code: 45220) There is no sound reason to distrupt Burnet Woods with this construction.
2552. Pat Coyle (ZIP code: 45202) Please reject the recent proposal by the Camping Education Foundation to install a permanent structure in Burnet Woods. Burnet Woods is one of the few remaining stands of undeveloped nature near UC and downtown. It has been entrusted to the Cincinnati Park Board for protection against exactly this kind of private development, as a legacy for future generations. The proposed construction would permanently reduce and further fragment the woods needed by local wildlife as habitat and by the people of Cincinnati as a greenspace refuge. Please do not allow this development!

2571. Margaret Maxwell (ZIP code: 45140) Our parks need to be left as parks to be enjoyed in their natural state. This building doesn't seem to serve any purpose as put forward. Leave our parks to help us enjoy nature--naturally.
2572. Peggy Spohr (ZIP code: 45220) As usual, an original ask becomes more. This has always been my greatest fear in any further development of Burnet Woods - it would likely expand into more and more. Stop the spread now, please. 2573. Heather Sheehan (ZIP code: 45233)
2574. Samuel Peplin (ZIP code: 45220) Burnett is critically important to the UC community.

2618. Marsha Porter (ZIP code: 45014) Private businesses have NO business in public parks! Please vote NO.
2619. Patrick Patton (ZIP code: 45224) Stop trying to develop Burnet Woods! Once it starts it is a slippery slope and it will become harder and harder to deny building requests.

The yard at Burnet is also the only safe location within walking distance for me to play fetch with him - I don't have a yard, and the large green space allows us to safely distance from other folks throughout the pandemic. I would be devastated if any part of this park was sold or the greenery removed. Please vote no!! My walks at burnet are helping me maintain my mental health through this pandemic.
2623. Sophia Privitera (ZIP code: 45220) This park is the nearest green space to me, and it is where I walk my dog, he is so much healthier bc of this space. Not to mention the city kids nearby are so much better off having this oasis of nature to explore

2714. Robert Lorsbach (ZIP code: 45220) As a resident of Clifton, I want to emphatically express my opposition to the proposed CEF construction. Burnet Woods is a treasure for residents of Clifton and has already lost much of its area over the years due to appropriation by other organizations.

2744. Roxanna Baker (ZIP code: 45220) I live next to Burnet. I go there for emotional relief. I go for quiet, enjoyment, or whatever else I need; the woods are there for the public. Burnet is a sanctuary in the heart of our city that is often bloodthirsty. The people can not have this exploited.

2799. Sam Marshall (ZIP code: 45209) I am opposed to this project. Stop taking away legacy green space. It is a habitat for other species, and over-development shrinks living environments for them, increases congestion in an already congested area, and degrades quality of life for residents as well. As a lifelong Cincinnati resident, I have many memories of enjoyable times in Burnett Woods. Previously, I was both a student and employee at UC, and the proximity of the park gave me an easily accessible escape for lunches, hikes, and meet-ups with friends. The park deserves to be preserved, not for it's own sake but for all Cincinnatians. Please do the right thing and prevent this project from going forward.

The beauty of this area for wildlife and birds is because it is a natural, undeveloped property. Please build elsewhere. Also, there are already many canoeing sites in Cincinnati... that are more appropriate. Leave Burnet Woods unspoiled... development kills plants, trees, animals, and birds along with the spirit and beauty of nature.

This proposal is repulsive to me on so many levels. The corruption evident in obscuring conversations between CEF and the Park Board, CEF’s proposal to develop this land... And CEF’s facade of support for outdoor education- how the fuck can you claim that and be campaigning for destruction of green space??? It is really telling that you’re not trying to pull this stunt over in Hyde Park where you’re headquartered- no one wants to shit where they sleep. Cincinnati Park Board- do better!! CEF- you can fuck right off.

It’s a beautiful park that’s been a great place to stage art projects, get some fresh air and a taste of nature, or simply hang out off campus, and though those may not seem like a big deal to everyone, those little things have been really important at the end of the day. We don’t need part of it getting destroyed for more unnecessary land development.

Preserving Burnet Woods as a park that supports wildlife and a place within a city environment to walk and quietly contemplate is extremely important to me. I do not agree with this infrastructure change to the park. It also disturbs me that CEF has not sought public feedback on their proposal. Please reject this proposal. Sincerely, Susan 2856.

I speak as a 56 year Eagle Scout, a 20 year Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 161, the nearest troop to Burnet Woods and a Clifton institution for close to 90 years, and as a Clifton homeowner for 29 years who walked through Burnet Woods everyday for those 29 years to and from my work as a professor of Architecture at DAAP.

Dear Commissioners:
I am against the proposed CEF building in Burnet Woods. I grew up a block from Burnet Woods, own a home only 10 minutes away from Burnet Woods now, and still frequently visit the park. Building in Burnet Woods undermines the purpose of the park, which is to be able to interact with nature. The building will irreversibly destroy green space in a park that is surrounded by urbanization. If anything, we should be looking for ways to preserve this important space, not destroy it. The pandemic has only highlighted the importance of our outdoor public spaces. Furthermore, the organization that will build and occupy the building will not be doing anything to enhance use of the park. A canoe-building workshop is part of the manufacturing industry and does not belong in a park. A decision in favor of the building will reflect poorly on the motives of the Parks Commission and of Mayor John Cranley.
I urge you to vote against the CEF building in Burnet Woods.
Sincerely,
Amanda Montgomery

Public Comment 12/17- Opposition to Proposed Building in Burnet Woods From Robert D Bergstein to the Members of the Park Board Introduction - I strongly oppose the construction of the proposed building near Burnet Lake. In fact, after speaking recently to the head of the Camping and Education Foundation, Hugh Haller, I am opposed to this group building in any of our City Parks. He wants a private building in prime location for his own group’s private use. I have no animosity towards anyone involved in this Proposal, who I think are fine and well-intentioned, but feel the whole project is misguided and not beneficial to Cincinnati Parks. I apologize if I have misquoted Mr. Goetz, as this is my memory of conversations. An Aside -While I was at the Friday December 11 meeting described below, a well-known Cincinnatian jogged by. I spoke to him about the proposed building. He said he knew the Camping and Education was fine, and that he knew them personally, but they shouldn’t build in Burnet Woods. He said they can buy any nearby house and build their canoe in the garage. An Aside- I spoke to another person, a scientist from at a well-known museum. He said they shouldn’t build a private building in a public park. Not very complicated.
History On Sunday Dec 6, I first heard about the renewed proposal for a lakeside building, as I was hiking in Burnet Woods. A member of Preserve Burnet Woods handed me a half sheet with info about the building, and describing the proposed final Park Board vote on Dec 17! On Monday Dec 7, I attended the Clifton Town Meeting by Zoom on Monday Dec 7. There was a partial plan presented by Park Board Member Jim Goetz and Director Kara Kish. I would say this was not well received, due to the late notice to the citizens and the proposal was similar to one that had been vehemently opposed in 2018 by many, many people, and many community groups including CTM (which passed a motion against it) Then as now, most people thought “Private buildings do not belong in public parks.” I believe Kara Kish and Jim Goetz were not involved with Cincinnati Parks at this time, so probably did not know this. On Friday Dec 11, I attended a live in-person meeting (hastily arranged by the Burnet Woods Park Advisory Council (BPAC), I believe). The location was the proposed building site. There were about 45 people there, including Director of the Camping and Education Foundation Hugh Haller, Park Director Kara Kish, Park Board Member Jim Goetz, Steve Schuckman, many park employees, as well as some citizens and members of community groups. There was no real presentation of the building plan, no blueprint, no marking of where the building would be, no real statement by any park person as to the benefit to the park-going public of this building to be located in the park, no explanation of why they were in favor of this building, no statement that it would benefit park goers, no statement about any financial benefit to the Park System about this project. No statement that this project will be a significant impact on the nature education of children. No statement that the Camping and Education Foundation would do a better job teaching actual canoeing that the park staff, or the Sierra Club, or REI, who I believe could (and would) do this … General Statements to the Group with Mr. Goetz and others Mr. Goetz stated that several years ago, the parks had decided on a policy of partnering with outside groups. (I somewhat agree, but this project is not one.) (Partnering with any outside group that wants to build a private building, requires a MUCH higher standard. Eg. a one-day course on fossils taught by UC geology is a good partnership. Building a permanent UC building in Burnet Woods, closed most of the time, and with no public access would be a bad partnership. See below for my idea of a successful partnership) On the complaint of the quick timeline from notification to final Park Board Vote, I believe Mr. Goetz informed the group that they were not rushing this project. Mr. Goetz stated that the Cincinnati Parks have been working privately with the Camping and Education Foundation for four years. To me, this makes it worse. The parks have been working for four years on an idea that they know many citizens oppose, and they try to push this through without informing the public. An Aside: There were many Park employees at the live meeting. As every employee certainly understands, employees in a meeting with their bosses present, will not freely state their true feelings about the merit of a proposal. My Conversation with Mr. Haller I spoke with Mr. Hugh Haller, (the director of the Camping and Education Foundation, who proposes to build the new building) privately for five minutes towards the end of the meeting. I tried to understand the use of the building. He confirmed half is a workshop, half for (indoor!) canoe storage. This is a single use building, for the exclusive use of the Camping and Education Building. My understanding from him was that the building would not be staffed full time, and not sure if it would be staffed at all, except when they were working on building a canoe. For people walking in the park, the building would typically not be open, the restroom in the building (which would be a great benefit to everyone) not public, there are no displays or anything to see if you do enter the building. No benefit unless you are one of 10(?) working on building a Canoe. And who has signed these people up, Cincy Parks or CEF? Who are fees paid to? I asked about the winter hours. He said they might have 10 kids come over after school to work. So open 2 hours a day, and these hours are not for the public. Apparently, the hours may be set by CEF alone. Not sure of the weekend hours, not specified in writing. I think it takes several weeks for a group to build a canoe. So we are talking about a very small number of students, or citizens being impacted by the experience. IMPORTANT- Mr. Haller stated to me that the most important aspect of a group building a canoe was the bonding, that comes by working together! While true, this does not really require either Canoe Building or a separate single use building within the park. Bonding can occur by bird watching, hiking, camping, crafts, actually most regular events where one can make friends. As far as the use of the canoes stored in the building, I doubt they would be used on a winter day, so no reason to have them stored inside and onsite. I believe Burnet Woods Park itself would not have access to the Canoes for their own programs. (Are there agreements from CEF that the building will be open noon- 7pm every day to rent canoes to the public?. Cost? Who keeps the money? Could Cincy Parks do this themselves, Hamilton County does) Mr. Haller said presently that CEF are building canoes in local schools, (which is fine, but is this a reason that their private building should be in a public park with a minimal benefit to the general public.) I also asked him if his group wouldn’t instead rather contribute financially to help build the nice lakeside plaza/playground which would benefit all visitors, (he was not interested in this at all. He wanted their CEF own building.) I tried to find if there was a benefit to our local kids considering that the main work of the CEM is a multi- week camp in Northern Minnesota. The cost for a four-week session is $5200 plus transportation. I am sure the camp is great if you can afford it. Hugh said they do have some free scholarships that would be available to a small number of Cincinnati kids, which is very nice, but these scholarships do not depend on a building in Burnet. My mistake- I may have offended him by suggesting that CEF could contribute to a nice plaza by the lake, with CEF name. I was hoping that his group would help finance a nice plaza by the lake which would be strongly supported by local citizens. Correctly Naming rights didn’t persuade him. My mistake- I suggested that this project was not supported by the local Clifton community. He correctly noted that this is a city park for the benefit of all of Cincinnati citizens, not just those in Clifton, which is true. I do feel that this building would not be a significant improvement to the park for any visitor, since it would have not have public access during most hours, no restrooms, no displays, and thus of little benefit to any visitor to the park. And my guess is that 50% of the visitors to Burnet live within a couple miles, so this project is, in fact, more important to people who live nearby. My conversation with Jim Goetz- When I later asked Park Board member Jim Goetz about hours and access, I believe he said these details (?) haven’t been discussed with CEM . It should be expected that the Park Board would know ALL of the details about the whole project, before voting on construction. Including the hours, the staffing, the services to be provided to public, financial benefit to the park, financial costs to the parks, improved services to park goers. Utility cost, increased Insurance Costs for boating Etc and that these “details” would be fully agreed for 10 or 20 years term. These details should all be discussed publicly and presented for public discussion, before the Park Board decides to build a new building. (eg. What will the Cincy Parks do with a single use building, if they are unhappy with the services provided, or CEM shortens hours, or no one goes canoeing?) Current Successful Partnerships with Outside Groups- Earlier I mentioned I am in favor of some partnerships between Cincinnati Parks and outside groups. These must be beneficial to both Cincinnati Parks and the outside group By far, the best example of a successful Partnership between Cincinnati Parks and an outside group is between Cincinnati Parks and “Preserve Burnet Woods” who are working together to restore the natural areas of Burnet Woods and four other city parks. In 2018, Preserve Burnet Woods was formed mainly to oppose the two new buildings planned within Burnet Woods. These buildings were thought not appropriate for a public park since they would have had a negative impact on the Park’s natural areas. As an accidental consequence of the Preserve Burnet Woods formation, there was a re-energization of a plan by concerned citizens and nature organizations to restore the natural areas of Burnet Woods and other Cincinnati Parks. This is an immense project due to the long-term (25 years) neglect of the natural areas of our Cincinnati Parks, which I believe is acknowledged by all. The benefit of the partnership to Cincinnati Parks is the restoration of our natural landscape. The benefit of the partnership to “Preserve Burnet Woods” is exactly the same. The restoration of our natural landscape. With volunteers doing much of the work. The Parks are doing a lot also, funding an outside company for tree removal, foliar spray, etc which are not jobs for volunteers. (Preserve Burnet Woods (with support of other Nature groups) are volunteering every month, clearing invasive plants from Burnet Woods. In 2020, Preserve Burnet Woods has done about $30,000 worth of volunteer restoration in Burnet Woods! Within 2 years, the landscape should be much more natural, open woodlands, and native plants returning.) (disclaimer) I am a member of PBW and a volunteer, not a board member. This is a a successful collaboration! Sincerely, Robert D. Bergstein ,

Dear James Goetz, Vice President of the Board of Park Commissioners:
Here is a statement from Executive Committee of the Sierra Club Miami Group re: the proposed Urban Wilderness Center in Burnet Woods.
The Camping and Education Foundation and the Parks’ Explore Nature Program have proposed building an “Urban Wilderness Center” near the lake in Burnet Woods. CEF has worked with UC DAAP Co-Op students to develop visioning for the Master Plan. However, other concerned community stakeholders have not seen a presentation of the new plan nor had time for community discussion. Our concern: The plan does not protect the natural integrity of the forest ecosystem. Indeed, the project entails further loss of habitat in an urban park already reduced in size some years back. It will cause major disruption and stress to habitat vis-à-vis the creation of two separate construction sites including the upcoming sewer overhaul behind Trailside Nature Center. For these reasons, the Sierra Club Miami Group opposes this proposal by Parks/ CEF and requests that going forward that there will be true and significant community dialogue and engagement for major plans in the park.

Cincinnati Park Board Commissioners: will you please listen to the public? How many times must the people say "NO development in Burnet Woods"?
Here we are again, the third time in a few years that development has been proposed and the public has responded with “No”.
People voted NO to a restaurant in the park. Plenty of restaurants in Clifton.
A huge swathe of the public said NO to the park board selling out to a Clifton arts group that could build (and is now going to build!) elsewhere on private land instead of inside the limited public green space of Burnet Woods. Plenty of land outside of a city park for an arts center.
And now, again, we're saying NO NO NO to a new stand alone building for Camping and Education Foundation (CEF). Based on their Hyde Park profile, they must have plenty of money so they too can take their building elsewhere. Maybe to a location along the banks of a national scenic river like the Little Miami?
It's totally unacceptable (and inconceivable that it's even being considered!) for a private, elite enterprise to BUY their way into a part of this valued green space in the heart of Clifton. Develop elsewhere CEF, NOT in Burnet Woods.
On their website, CEF calls Burnet Woods the "sylvan heart" of Cincinnati. REALLY? Are you kidding me? How is putting up a building in a National Audubon Society “Important Bird Area” (IBA) a way to honor a "sylvan heart"? Plus, it’s the only IBA entirely in Hamilton County!
Side note: in addition to CEF going elsewhere, CEF should consider dropping their 1950's style Native American cultural appropriation. Even the folks in Cleveland (formerly the "Indians") are ahead us in that regard.
From their website (Urban Wilderness Program — Camping & Education Foundation): "The Camping & Education Foundation’s Urban Wilderness Center is the realization of a dream many years in the making—a nexus of experiential learning and leadership development in the sylvan heart of Cincinnati. The center will be constructed in accordance with the Living Building Challenge, the world’s most rigorous green certification program."
It's disappointing to see the CEF website displaying the Cincinnati Park Board LOGO on one of their pages with a schematic of the proposed building and dock (located in one of the most popular spots for fishermen to set up). Selling this as green development is shameful.
But if the park board is truly so very financially strapped and money hungry, how about allowing CEF to put a building in Eden Park near the reflecting pond? Mirror Lake isn’t much smaller than the water feature in Burnet Woods. If kids fell out of a canoe on Mirror Lake at least their feet would hit concrete and there'd be no risk of drowning.
There’s also a concrete bottomed reflecting pond at Rapid Run: this location already has a boat ramp and a history by of canoeing programs hosted by parks. Of course, there would actually have to “be” water restored into Rapid Run since it’s mysteriously been without water for about six months.
Hugh Haller of CEF said publicly in the summer of 2018 at a meeting held by Wade W. at Corryville Recreation Center that CEF would not pursue building in Burnet Woods if the public objected. It's time for him to stay true to that statement.
KEEP Burnet Woods AN OASIS OF GREEN AND do NOT DESTROY ANY PART OF IT by selling-out to misguided development under the guise of park budget/financial pressures.

Dear Commissioner Lindner,
As a member of the Burnet Woods Park Advisory Council (BPAC) since its inception, I was quite surprised to find that there was visioning and modeling happening in conjunction with DAAP for a new concept of CEF's proposed Urban Wilderness Center. As a member of the group, I was not made aware of the UC students working on it, that the addition and rehab of Trailside was off the table or that a new siting for the project had been considered.
No meetings were called by our Chairperson, Julie Horne. No communications came from Rocky Mertz with Parks, nor were we advised by any other City department, community group or community council that a pivot was underway.
I would like to be open-minded and consider, as a BPAC, all proposals that are put forth. But, that has to be in partnership with the Parks, rather than as an 11th hour notice of something that has been in the works since March 2020.
Personally, I believe the hillside behind the concession stand should not be disrupted. I feel that the WPA era structure should be saved and put to good use- in the future, when there are funds to bring it back around. And I strongly encourage Parks & CEF to reach out to BPAC and other stakeholders in honest discussion, engagement.
A place in the Park could be found for the CEF. A grassy area- near MLK, a place that is unused up on Bishop that is not wooded. Something that is not in the very heart of the Park. The lake has other shorelines besides the one near Trailside.
Lastly, the perfect location should also be looked at in coordination with the on-going issue of run-off into the park and the sewer problems. Let's look at the whole picture. Let's look at it together.

To the Cincinnati Park Board of Commissioners -
Preserve Burnet Woods is opposed to the construction of a new standalone workshop for the Camping and Education Foundation in Burnet Woods. It is our position that this construction would pose significant environmental damage to Burnet Woods, negatively impact the historic aesthetic of the Park and recharacterize the Park to fit the mission of a private foundation with little to no public benefit for the surrounding community or the Park itself. The changes to the CEF plan are a break with the understanding set forth to the community and memorialized by the Memorandum of Understanding with the Park Board that CEF would utilize Trailside Nature Center, with renovations to accommodate that purpose, as well as make Trailside Nature Center more universally accessible. Changes to the CEF plan for a standalone structure were done without transparency and without community engagement.
Preserve Burnet Woods has gathered a petition to stop the development of a standalone workshop for the Camping and Education Foundation in Burnet Woods. Additional reasons for our objection to the updated CEF proposal are contained therein. Attached is a copy of that petition and the accompanying signature log. This petition is new and is NOT the same petition presented to you in 2018. While we are continuing to gather signatures on this petition, of note is that -
the attached signature log contains 3,218 signatures as of this date/time the attached signature log is 185 pages in length the attached signature log contains 871 unique comments
We enter this petition as a whole into the Public Comment log for the Park Board of Commissioners meeting on 12/17, on which this topic is on agenda, and for any subsequent public comment date should this meeting date be changed or the topic continued to a later meeting.
Additionally, we enter each of the 871 unique comments as their own Public Comments for the Park Board of Commissioners meeting on 12/17, on which this topic is on agenda, and for any subsequent public comment date should this meeting date be changed or the topic continued to a later meeting.
We reserve the right to append this petition to add new signatures and comments within the public comment period. We ask that the Commissioners acknowledge receipt of this petition and that they have read its contents at the Park Board meeting on 12/17.
Cynthia Duval Interim President, Preserve Burnet Woods Tell the Cincinnati Park Board to vote No on the new CEF Building Proposal in Burnet Woods TO: The Cincinnati Park Board of Commissioners
On December 17th, 2020, the Cincinnati Park Board will again consider a proposal by the Camping and Education Foundation (CEF), to create a standalone building within Burnet Woods, a public park. Preserve Burnet Woods is opposed to this new private construction in Burnet Woods as a detriment to the important ecological habitat of the park and an unnecessary invasion of private interest on vital urban greenspace. There is no opposition to expanded programming in Burnet Woods, only for the loss of natural habitat. We ask for your support by signing this petition to communicate to the Cincinnati Park Board that the Camping and Education Proposal should be summarily rejected, the MOU nullified, and the discussion of new private construction in Burnet Woods should end for the following reasons:
· Documentation for the new CEF Urban Wilderness Center building concept has not been released by Cincinnati Parks or by CEF for public view or feedback, nor have any of the public stakeholders been engaged for feedback.
· Surrounding community stakeholders, namely Clifton Town Meeting, CUF Neighborhood Association, Corryville Community Council, and the Burnet Woods Park Advisory Committee have not been engaged for feedback on the new proposal. Clifton Town Meeting’s attempt to convene the stakeholders was not attended by any CEF representative and there was no official presentation by the Park Board Commissioner in attendance (Commissioner Goetz). Participants were given only a four (4) page selective picture of the building concept to view, yet were unanimous in discussion that a new building in the park was not wanted. This is not an acceptable community engagement model by Cincinnati Parks, nor adequate information to review.
· This matter is going to vote before the Park Board with substantial community resistance and without substantial community engagement, with the Park Board’s full knowledge that development in Burnet Woods is a contentious community topic and any significant change to park infrastructure without engagement will cause further community disruption and division.
· CEF has provided no evidence that its proposed facility would be accessible to the “urban communities” and “urban youth” it claims it will serve. Building in Burnet Woods is solely for the convenience of CEF to support a program it offers at the University of Cincinnati. It is conceivable that this is another of many annexations by the University of Burnet Woods, this time via a private interest.
· CEF has stated publicly that they do not need this building for their mission.
· CEF stated publicly that it would not pursue this project if the community did not want it. Beginning with the 2018 daylighting discussion, the community has been consistent in messaging that it does not want any new buildings for private use in Burnet Woods. CEF has continued to pursue its new construct in the park in spite of public opposition.
· In addition to the new building, construction of camping space and camping rings would further fragment and negatively impact Burnet Woods’s forest habitat.
· The existing historic WPA-era structures that support Cincinnati Parks programs and public needs should retain the focus for the Park Board above the asserted wants of a private organization. The Cincinnati Parks system is currently experiencing a $70 million dollar deferred maintenance crisis that includes structures in Burnet Woods. The CEF’s new building will require demolition of a historic WPA-era stone structure that is used by Parks and which could be used for public benefit.
· Parks has an existing nature program via Explore Nature and should focus attention on expansion of that program in its own facilities rather than adding cumbersome facilities for private interests.
· This private construction will not be for public benefit. There is no indication that the boat dock revision included in the plan will allow personal kayak portage or rental canoes. The plan does not indicate that camping space and campfire rings will be available for public use.
· Burnet Woods is going to experience massive construction disruption from a required combined sewer separation as soon as that MSD project is funded. This is cited as a reason that the Trailside Nature Center renovation concept was abandoned by CEF. Their response to that concern was to disrupt the park with additional construction in a nearby area on a different timeline. The environmental consequences of repeated construction projects of this magnitude on a small urban park will take decades to repair and it may never fully recover.
· Since 2018, Preserve Burnet Woods and the Stewards of Burnet Woods have rallied the community around the park to invest significant volunteer hours and capital fundraising dollars into park restoration, as well as provide dedicated programming initiatives on a consistent basis. This programming includes collaborations with U.C. student groups, Rockdale Elementary, and HEART Montessori. These community collaboratives, combined with Cincinnati Parks own in- house Explore Nature programs, and regular programs from other community partners, have rendered the need for CEF to construct a permanent physical site in the park to complete its programming obsolete.
The mission of Preserve Burnet Woods is to protect, promote, celebrate and sustain Burnet Woods as an urban oasis and community-supported greenspace. We are a 100% volunteer organization and 501(c)(3) non-profit. PBW supports its mission through invasive species removal, litter pick-up, and small-batch nature education hikes in Burnet Woods. Since 2018, we have donated more than 1400 volunteer hours to support the habitat and community in this park. Additional information on our organization, the history of this proposal and the significance of Burnet Woods Park can be found at www.preserveburnetwoods.org. Please help us in preserving this vital space in our community!

Every Saturday in the summer my Father and I would walk in the park and I’d go down the giant stone slide. Then we’d get a hotdog at the concession stand building. Occasionally we’d rent a paddle boat and go out on the lake. This is a special, special place for past and future Cliftonites and their families.

83. Amy Forrester (ZIP code: 45039) Grew up in Clifton - spent many memorable hours picnicking, visiting the Nature Center, whooshing down the concrete slide, looking for spring wildflowers along the trails. Greenspace in urban areas is a precious and irreplaceable resource and Cincinnati is a community blessed to have a place like Burnet Woods to provide such a beautiful and rich habitat to its residents. Don't compromise that asset that everyone can enjoy, by infringing on it with development for private commercial interests. I am categorically opposed to this proposal to build a new CEF Urban Wilderness Center building in Burnet Woods.

166. Amy (ZIP code: 45122) I lived in the Gaslight District for ten years until this last January. I’m VERY grateful for my time in Burnet Woods. I learned to get healthy hiking, enjoyed the scenery to help me through depression, learned about botany and loved that so much of the park was still NATURAL and wasn’t invaded by new development. It was a great luxury to live across from a very public park that still felt private. I frequently discovered new areas hiking because of the size of the park.
Please let the city enjoy this space as the gem it is. It is not perfect, but it is a space for the people of the city. It shouldn’t be for sale in any way. It’s one of the last great green spaces in that area. Plus, there’s already buildings that are severely underutilized in Burnet Woods. I have NEVER been inside the current building there because it was never open. Don’t waste more space and money to create something the people who frequent the park don’t want.

If you want that, go to Ault Park or even Mt. Storm. That’s why it’s called Burnet Woods, not Burnet Park!
251. Alan Weiner (ZIP code: 45233) The public hearing should be a first step in the process of neglecting the WPA era building and allowing new construction in Burnet Woods. I think this hearing would better suit the City and open the discussion to the actual stakeholders, residents of Cinti and Hamilton County, as well as all communities reprec sented by the U.C. student population.

279. Stacie Baldwin (ZIP code: 45206) The rate at which Cincinnati is demolishing any natural setting in lieu of cheap, characterless construction is appalling. The city is legitimately losing residents in favor of places such as North Carolina or Colorado that favors the environment. For a city with such a respectable design program, I’m not seeing any progress that reflects it. Protect and RESPECT our urban green spaces!!

290. Elizabeth Brichler (ZIP code: 45220) I have lived in Clifton since 1978 and value the green space that is so lacking in the neighborhood. With the university and hospitals, we have more than enough traffic and do not need to create a magnet for additional traffic and parking issues. I walk thru the park frequently and enjoy the safety for pedestrians, especially with the addition of the blocked street access. The parks were created by our city planners long ago to preserve green space - once it's gone it won't ever return.

Her first request was to take a long walk through Burnet Woods. She longed to bring back memories of her days at Summer Camp in Burnet woods. During the walk, she talked about her activities during summer day camp and retraced those memories to me. This is what Burnet Woods means to Clifton. Our wish is for Burnet Woods to remain a place for memories of green grass, tall trees and being at peace with Nature and each other, and not new buildings.

542. Chelsea Ker (ZIP code: 45220) Burnet Woods is an absolute gem of the Univeristy heights and Clifton area. It should be protected and preserved at all costs. It’s a beautiful environment where you can be walking down the street and the in 5 minutes you’re completely immersed in woods without another person around. It is precious and not worth developing. 543. Chelsea Sorrell (ZIP code: 80210) I used to live in cincinnati , please don't destroy anymore green space , clifton is awful enough already

610. Craig Lloyd (ZIP code: 45219-1008) Burnet Woods is one of the city's smaller parks that sits amid some of the highest population density in the city. As such it is a natural oasis where buildings need to be secondary to the environment. The existing structures were built low and used materials that were harmonious and unobtrusive. They could be renovated using similar materials. Trailside can be updated again to make use of its ample space. Bigger structures to house what is probably a trend coming from an outside entity are not appropriate to this fragile piece of property in a university neighborhood.

This construction will negatively impact urban forest habitat and environmental quality for years to come. This construction will result in the demolition of a historic WPA-era fieldstone structure. Designed by Carl Freund, the building is an interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Organic Modernism. Freund’s work corresponded with the influx of public funding and labor from Depression-Era New Deal programs that resulted in extensive works in Cincinnati’s public parks.
Cincinnati’s park system is revered as one of the best in the United States. Please, let’s continue this legacy!

794. Don Crouse (ZIP code: 45244) Urban green spaces are an important and valuable resource for humans and wildlife alike. From migratory birds, to a habitat for countless species, a way to clean the air, a respite from concrete, steel and asphalt. Please reconsider your choice to eliminate one of the larger urban green spaces, especially as it’s such a benefit to UC students and recruitment.

816. Dan Rapp (ZIP code: 45220) I’d like to keep Burnet Woods quiet and as untouched as possible. It’s one of the only parks in this urban area. There are several parts that have been built upon, like the gazebo and play ground, and we deserve areas that remain as nature created it.
817. Jeffrey Baker (ZIP code: 45069) I would hope that open space is expanded, not diminished, at burnet woods and in Cincinnati, and that so much vacant construction is used for projects in order to allow open space to be increased thank you

839. Ian Dwight (ZIP code: 45220) Burnett woods has been so helpful throughout my college career; as a place to learn, a place to garner inspiration, and as a place to just get away from city life. One of my first DAAP classes used to go and draw in Burnet Woods and those are some of my favorite memories from freshman year. I’d hate for generations to come to not be able to enjoy those same experiences.

849. William Cahalan (ZIP code: 45205) Please vote against the proposal for a new building in Burnet Woods by the Camping and Education Foundation. Wasn't something like this denied maybe 2 years ago? There hasn't been hardly any chance for public disclosure and discussion. But we know enough to know that this goes against the goal of preserving and enjoying (unobtrusively!) this vital, public wooded habitat in the middle of our city.
Thankyou, William Cahalan, Ph.D. East Price Hill Cincinnati Ohio

881. Liz Virgo (ZIP code: 45232) Our city needs to stop pushing through development projects when residents of the neighborhoods they are designed for do not approve, as is the case with this project. This is not wanted by citizens, hear our voices.

883. Elias Halabi (ZIP code: 45219)
884. Elijah Catalan (ZIP code: 45202) There is plenty of underused real estate within the city so construction inside the park is unnecessary. We should be expanding natural space in parks not cutting it down.

908. Erin Mathews (ZIP code: 45220) Our greenspaces are few and far between, and once we develop on them, there's no getting them back. Why not respect the land and communal space for what it is, instead of harming it for reasons motivated by money and greed?

Our world is losing so much precious nature life, and we are just going to help gobal warming! The impact of this extends, further and deeper. So shame on you for trying to get rid of a public space that is already becoming limited in our day for money. And may the lord be in your heart to show you how mean, and selfish and heartless your actions are for trying to over run a popular place. This park is amongst one of the most popular parks for UC students. I hope your days get better, your life has more love, and your mind becomes more connected. Until you learn to love you will never be happy and chasing money will never be enough to keep you happy forever.

I bike my toddler here several times a week and we walk around the lake and enjoy nature. We've heard wealthy folks say, "just drive to another park" but we and many others can't do that, and would be devastated to lose any of this beloved park.

1104. William Gordon (ZIP code: 45220) 1. The role of public parks is for public use, and this facility will not be regularly open for public use. 2. The actual impact of this project on Burnet Woods will be greater than just the building, because of the planned camping space and camping rings, which will further reduce the amount of space in Burnet Woods for public use. 3. CEF has said that it would not pursue a project without community support. The Clifton community is OPPOSED to this project.

1118. Gerald Checco (ZIP code: 45220-1616) 1- Unlike CCAC who had lots of support from members of our neighborhoods (plural), CEF seems to have none. 2- During the contentious debate about CCAC, CEF said that they did not want to be in a park that had a tumultuous engagement with the community. 3- CEF said several times that they did not need a building but could use part of the unused Trailside, 4- The work of MSD is probably not going to happen in the next 10 or 20 years (too many other projects are more urgent) and when this work happens, it will minimally impact Trailside and its potential CEF addition. 5- In a fragile environmental state, the activities proposed by CEF are far worse than any of the activities that have been denied recently, based on environmental reasons. Plenty of literature about negative impact of these activities on the environment, particularly fragile environments. 6- CEF is a seasonal activity that could be easily happen across the street on UC's campus that has plenty of Arts workshop spaces, or with a mobile unit (idea presented at the CTM meeting by others), This mobile unit would also have added benefits of being able to reach kids into the neighborhoods they live in. 7- The previous Community Engagement for CEF had very different parameters. 8- The proposed building design is simply atrocious which is a proof that Parks staff is not supporting the concept but that it is imposed on them. 9- The "green washing" of the proposed building is lamentable. for example, removing perfectly good concrete (that has already produced its carbon footprint) with a wooden deck, only adds carbon footprint 10- It is never a good idea to create neighborhood wars instead of finding win-win outcome, especially when so much needs to be done to support this and other parks.

If nothing else, table the vote until - the public has more information and more input - the benefits of this project, fully disclosed and evaluated, can be weighed against its environmental costs and the parks' other capital and maintenance needs and - alternate locations -- perhaps in larger parks or with less habitat value-- can be evaluated.

This proposal is being pushed through during a pandemic, at a time when many people are unaware of what is happening in their local parks. Another building is not necessary in Burnet Woods. Burnet Woods is an urban oasis in what is otherwise a very urban area. It is important, for both wildlife and the enjoyment of people, for this Urban area to remain as natural as possible. CEF is welcome to have programs in Burnet woods, but they should come up with programs that can be offered without adding another building to the park.

Not to mention what the park meant to the gay community. All that means absolutely nothing. It mow comes down to money and the University land barony and the LAW. So the word is out to those in the legal community to finally put an end to this constant land grab. Jump in ladies and gentlemen of the Bar. These people can only be stopped in a court.

1340. Jason Long (ZIP code: 45227) The preserved land of Burnet Woods is quintessential to the makeup of the city of Cincinnati. The land serves many people who live in the urban core and don’t have a close by nature park. It gives workers and students in CUF and Clifton a place to unwind for lunch, and even offers parking. It provides citizens with countless activities, and holds treasures like the planetarium at the nature center. It is an important spot for migratory birds and our local ecosystems. The history of Burnet Woods is a focal point to the development of parks in Cincinnati and the rest of Ohio. Because of the detrimental effect that further development of the land would have on our environment, our city, and our parks system, I hereby am signing this petition, and begging the Commissioners to really consider how little need there is to use any area of the park for the proposed building.

I traverse the park on my way to and from work. It's an oasis, a local treasure. But it's also a parking lot for UC students and others. What's more, the proximity of a busy business corridor and student housing means that it can be noisy and more polluted than one would hope. All of which is to say that Burnet Woods is already at risk. Don't contribute to its further diminishment. I urge you to reject any new development within or on the margins of the park.

How can we trust any city government's officials if they go back on their word? We DO NOT WANT development is Burnet Woods and please stop allowing businesses to make bids on a protected space.
1389. Jennifer Araya (ZIP code: 45220) Burnet Woods does NOT need additional development, particularly private development that has not been subjected to rigorous community discussion and engagement. As a daily user of Burnet Woods and a resident of Clifton, I STRONGLY oppose this proposal.

1506. Jazmine Applegate (ZIP code: 45246) Burnet woods is extremely significant to the students of the University of Cincinnati. Where else is there a WALKING distance park filled with hiking trails, resting areas, a pond, and a large area of wildlife? It is an oasis in a busy college town. University students need this park, not another building.

1515. Jaqui Brumm (ZIP code: 45208) I strongly oppose the construction of any additional facilities of any kind at Burnet Woods. That Greenspace needs to be left alone for the plants and animals that currently use it as it is. I’m including humans in the word animals. The volunteer groups that are helping to remove the invasives and to teach about the trees and birds that are there are doing tremendous work. Please support them with your votes instead by voting against any further construction ideas at Burnet Woods. I took a walk there last week and it was a delightful break from the COVID and the politics that are currently clogging our emotional and physical systems. We need more natural, native green areas to help us survive, not less. Please vote no and reject the Camping and Education proposal. You voted down the Clifton Arts Center and this is no different. Thank you, Jaqui Brumm

1583. Karen Andrew (ZIP code: 45223) Burnet Woods is a small urban park and it has one very small lake. It does not need any more buildings -it already has a nature center. There is no good reason to build any more buildings especially to house canoes. The lake is too small to canoe, kayak, and boat in, even too small for canoe classes. The building will be an eyesore. Nearby residents, employees of nearby businesses and university students appreciate the natural beauty of this park and use it for walking and running around the lake and on the trails, picnicking, and nature classes. We don't need any construction there except to repair the road and facilities. We don't need any other buildings built in there. This park is a nature refuge in the middle of the city for Cincinnati citizens and visitors. It's also a positive feature for nearby the neighborhood homes and buildings. Please don't ruin it with a building that will not benefit the real users of this park. 1584. Karen Arnett (ZIP code: 45223)

It is a wonderful greenspace that attracts people from all over, as a place of respite and recreation. To compromise this space for private programming is unjust and unfair. There is no reason why the already existing Nature Center in Burnet cannot be utilized for additional programming. Adding a new structure to the park would just eradicate precious land and habitat that has been preserved for decades. The surrounding community has consistently opposed new construction in the park and we stand by our mission. It's unfair to sacrifice a beloved public space for private interests, and this proposal would absolutely not benefit the community at large. I hope the park board votes no to this proposal and sets a precedent for the preservation of our park for years to come.

1673. Katie Stewart (ZIP code: 45220) I am a resident of Clifton and an outdoor professional. As such, I am a proponent of helping to make/keep the outdoors accessible to all and understand the immense value of outdoor learning experiences and I admire the mission of the Camping and Education Foundation. However, I do not support the demolition of the current historic structures at Burnet Woods, nor the construction of new buildings within the park.
Our city often fast-tracks development without enough thoughtful consideration as to the effects on the community and the environment. Burnet Woods truly is an urban forest oasis for wildlife and humans alike. While it may seem “scrubby” and “underutilized” it functions as a patch of genuine, relatively untouched forest ecosystem. So many people (myself included) and animals use this park as an escape from the surrounding city and its function as a refuge and haven cannot be understated. I am afraid hasty development at Burnet Woods sets a precedent that our parks are to be valued more for their acreage and location rather than what they contain, sustain, and provide.
While I believe Burnet Woods would benefit from thoughtful, considered improvements, I am confident there is a solution that maintains the ecological and historical integrity of Burnet Woods while still allowing for meaningful recreation and use. The current plan as it stands is not acceptable. Thank you.

I went through the official presentation materials myself. I walked with my dog and my daughter through Burnet Woods, and thought about what it was, what it could be, what it should be. Ultimately I agreed with those who were arguing against new private buildings in the park, and I still agree with them now. There is no reason CEF cannot make use of the existing Trailside Nature Center, as they stated they would do. Furthermore, this hurried, bait-and-switch move weakens my trust in their organization to be friends of the Burnet Woods community and stewards of the park.

1741. Kristi O'Donnell (ZIP code: 98253) Dear Cincinnati Park Board: Burnett Woods is a vital nature reserve in the heart of the city and in my hometown neighborhood of Clifton. I agree with everything written in this posting. The stand alone for private interest CEF building is not needed and not appropriate. Please vote NO.
It would be a travesty to see the historic WPA building torn down and removed from public service.
Keep Burnett Woods alive for the natural habitat and nature programs, for kids of all ages.
I encourage you to fix up the park. When we visited in Dec. 2019 things looked really nice.
I fondly remember skating there, feeding the ducks, concerts in the park with the Cinti Pops and Marion Spellman, birthday parties in the picnic area, sliding down that slide! Snow sledding. Theatre in the rock sculpture. Nature study every summer! Collecting acorns and autumn leaves.
I was a volunteer crew leader for the original Green Up Day and for several years there after.
In 1976/77, when I was a horticulture student at Cinti State, I spoke to the City of Cincinnati Council in support of Park Funding in their budget, specifically to preserve the new trees Cinti Parks had just planted in Burnett Woods. That's where I met Park Board Volunteer Founder and Park Commissioner, Marlene Holwadel: a champion for Cincinnati Parks! She would be signing this letter today!
In addition to growing up in Cincinnati Parks, I was also an employee there from 1985-1993, at Krohn Conservatory and then as Assistant Supervisor of Horticulture.
Keep Clifton green and historically vital.

1747. Jason Krupar (ZIP code: 45209-1632) I am once again amazed and stunned at this last minute effort by the Park Board to impose an unwanted major transformation on Burnet Woods. The lack of input from surrounding citizen's and community organizations I find appalling and frankly undemocratic. It makes one wonder what the Board is attempting to hide from the tax-payers of the city and county. The lack of transparency and continual effort by the Board to overturn the vocal resistance of the neighborhood makes me think that the Board positions need to be made more responsive to the communities it allegedly serves. Perhaps it is time the Board be elected by the citizens of the city.

As a student at UC and as a resident near Burnet, beginning the process of destroying the preservation further feels unjust and morally wrong. Especially during these trying times, Burnet Woods gave those quarantining and socially distancing a way to forget and grow from the turmoil. I hope you can see the value of preserving it as much as we can.

I use the park every day and any construction projects will diminish my use of the park and will be a disruption of the natural environment.

There have been several proposals to develop/build within Burnet Woods which have been defeated by those of us who want this space to remain green and open and accessible.

2000. William Hull (ZIP code: 45220) It is rare to have a "wild" space in the middle of an urban area. The benefits of such a space to the overall community can not be measured. No new buildings should be built. Any private organization that wants to use the park should make use of a physical structure outside of the park or be allowed to use the existing physical building. Any new buildings will greatly diminish the irreplaceable space that the community has with Burnet Woods.

This is not an appropriate place for a new, private construction.

2059. Maxime Lafond (ZIP code: 45220) As a member of the Clifton/UC community, I'd like to express my disagreement on a new, private construction in Burnet Woods. The Camping and Education Foundation is a private entity, whose interests are opposite to the community needs of urban greenspace, and contradicts previous commitments. I believe there are ZERO benefits of such a project to the community. On the contrary, Burnet Woods is the only access to nature that numerous non-driver students can access around UC. It is a fact that diminishing their access to nature by spoiling Burnet Woods with a new construction will directly impact their wellbeing and reduce their ways to cope in those trying and stressful times.

2068. Michael Barkett (ZIP code: 45220) Burnett Woods is a clifton staple. A spot for college students to retreat to when needing a slight glimpse of nature within the city. Many students do not have cars and are thus unable to travel to the great surrounding parks; making Burnett Woods their only option. On top of the students, the pond is a local gathering spot for many individuals to fish and congregate around, building the sense of community that Cincinnati thrives off of. Burnett Woods already lost all the land from MLK to Calhoun to developers. Do not make this mistake again and destroy the little slice of nature that still thrives in Clifton.

As I mother my daughters and I fed the ducks by the lake. There is no need for this building. I am also a canoe/kayaker and feel they are not needed on the lake - there are a lot of more appropriate places for this activity in the area.

This is an extremely important urban forest in a highly urbanized city and is very important for migratory birds. Removing any area of it would be detrimental to local ecology and the rare migratory species that stopover on their trip north or south. Birding is also becoming a popular activity in the park. It is one of the only inner city areas that is easily accessible to local inner city residents. The Board needs to vote no one this issue. Protect urban canopy and species. 2167.

Burnet Woods should not be developed. It is a rare human respite in the heart of a gritty urban area. It is an important migratory stop for birds.
I implore you, DO NOT permit the “Camping and Education Foundation “ or any other organization to convert any portion of this valuable snd irreplaceable public natural space to its own private purposes.

The CEF project in Burnet Woods is absolutely unnecessary,. There are much better alternatives like Mount Airy which is desperate for activation and already has existing pavilion spaces that could be perfect for boat building. The quality of life of your urban neighbors depends on you to provide them safe, well-maintained, activated parks.

2393. Owen Stelmarski (ZIP code: 45219) This is the best park close to UC, please do not take it away
2394. Mark Ostoich (ZIP code: 45244) NO construction in Burnett Woods! 2395. Maggie Otten (ZIP code: 45238)
2396. Mary Lou Arundell (ZIP code: 45220) I read the CEF website and all I conclude is this is a vanity project for someone who moved here from Minnesota and had connections with the program there. The structure proposed would seriously erode the nature of Burnet Woods opposite the Trailside Museum and next to the pond. The surreptitious manner in which this second proposal is being handled is demeaning and disrespectful to Cincinnati residents no matter where they live. I happen to live in Clifton but would oppose this on principle. The Park Board in considering this project is making an error in judgement with lasting ramifications.

2400. Avery Ozimek (ZIP code: 45202) I lived across from this park for several years and still take strolls with my dog through the relaxing park regularly. Developing this space would do a disservice to not only the community, but also be a travesty to the incredible animal populations of the park. I implore you to PLEASE vote NO!
2401. Patrick Schreiber (ZIP code: 45220) I DO NOT support the action to build the Camping & Education Foundation structure in Burnet Woods. As a lifelong Clifton Gaslight resident, the park is part of my community and open to everyone. Public land should not be used for private gain.
Knowing that there is a connection to UC, it will be like all of the other university funded projects and there will not be a long-term commitment to funding. The Camping & Education Foundation is a 'private' group based out of Hyde Park that runs outdoor camps in Minnesota, why aren't they looking at Ault Park as it is significantly larger and offers more space and parking? Moreso, I ask once again why are public funds being used to support a private organization?
This should never have even been considered.

2475. Patrick Patton (ZIP code: 45224) Stop trying to develop Burnet Woods! Once it starts it is a slippery slope and it will become harder and harder to deny building requests.

2478. Ellena Privitera (ZIP code: 45220) Ive walk my dog at this park every morning for years. It is my favorite thing to do every day and brings me and him a lot of joy. The yard at Burnet is also the only safe location within walking distance for me to play fetch with him - I don't have a yard, and the large green space allows us to safely distance from other folks throughout the pandemic. I would be devastated if any part of this park was sold or the greenery removed. Please vote no!! My walks at burnet are helping me maintain my mental health through this pandemic.
2479. Sophia Privitera (ZIP code: 45220) This park is the nearest green space to me, and it is where I walk my dog, he is so much healthier bc of this space. Not to mention the city kids nearby are so much better off having this oasis of nature to explore

2597. Roxanna Baker (ZIP code: 45220) I live next to Burnet. I go there for emotional relief. I go for quiet, enjoyment, or whatever else I need; the woods are there for the public. Burnet is a sanctuary in the heart of our city that is often bloodthirsty. The people can not have this exploited.

2648. Sam Marshall (ZIP code: 45209) I am opposed to this project. Stop taking away legacy green space. It is a habitat for other species, and over-development shrinks living environments for them, increases congestion in an already congested area, and degrades quality of life for residents as well. As a lifelong Cincinnati resident, I have many memories of enjoyable times in Burnett Woods. Previously, I was both a student and employee at UC, and the proximity of the park gave me an easily accessible escape for lunches, hikes, and meet-ups with friends. The park deserves to be preserved, not for it's own sake but for all Cincinnatians. Please do the right thing and prevent this project from going forward.

The beauty of this area for wildlife and birds is because it is a natural, undeveloped property. Please build elsewhere. Also, there are already many canoeing sites in Cincinnati... that are more appropriate. Leave Burnet Woods unspoiled... development kills plants, trees, animals, and birds along with the spirit and beauty of nature.

This proposal is repulsive to me on so many levels. The corruption evident in obscuring conversations between CEF and the Park Board, CEF’s proposal to develop this land... And CEF’s facade of support for outdoor education- how the fuck can you claim that and be campaigning for destruction of green space??? It is really telling that you’re not trying to pull this stunt over in Hyde Park where you’re headquartered- no one wants to shit where they sleep. Cincinnati Park Board- do better!! CEF- you can fuck right off.

It’s a beautiful park that’s been a great place to stage art projects, get some fresh air and a taste of nature, or simply hang out off campus, and though those may not seem like a big deal to everyone, those little things have been really important at the end of the day. We don’t need part of it getting destroyed for more unnecessary land development.

I have already participated in clearing honeysuckle to encourage native plants and healthier bird habitat. Preserving Burnet Woods as a park that supports wildlife and a place within a city environment to walk and quietly contemplate is extremely important to me. I do not agree with this infrastructure change to the park. It also disturbs me that CEF has not sought public feedback on their proposal. Please reject this proposal. Sincerely, Susan

My son learned about the transition of eggs to tadpole to frog at the water's edge--an experience he would not receive in a populated, fully developed Burnet Woods.

2978. George Bible (ZIP code: 45224) No development in Burnet Woods. As is, the park is too small to protect the rich ecosystems trying to live there. Any building process will destroy the environment far beyond the footprint of the building itself. Burnet Woods is unsuited to camping and is a poor choice for a camping program or education center. I speak as a 56 year Eagle Scout, a 20 year Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 161, the nearest troop to Burnet Woods and a Clifton institution for close to 90 years, and as a Clifton homeowner for 29 years who walked through Burnet Woods everyday for those 29 years to and from my work as a professor of Architecture at DAAP.

How much more can we keep chipping away at it ? Where else could someone in the Clifton / University area go to find the serenity that Burnet's trails offer?

It is vital for the peace and health of University of Cincinnati students and staff. Multiple studies have found natural landscapes restore working memory significantly faster than a city/urban environment. As an alumni I know I would not have fniished my degrees without the peace of Burnet Woods as it is today. Also, it is an incredible ecological community that we as a people need just as much as the park needs us [External Email] Public Comment, 12/17: No private development in Burnet Woods
