Waldo Woods Preservation in Jeopardy

Some of you may remember a post I wrote recently celebrating Maple Leaf's Waldo Woods being permanently preserved. Well it looks like that isn't quite the case now.  According to a press release from the Maple Leaf Community Council, all involved parties have signed the easement paperwork that will save the wooded area except Camp Fire Puget Sound.

Waldo Woods Working Group head, David Miller, had this to say about the latest events

I find it ironic that as Camp Fire celebrates its 100th birthday with a video packed with scenes of kids enjoying the environment and stating its focus on the environment that Camp Fire Puget Sound continues to block the community’s efforts at preserving Waldo Woods,” stated Mr. Miller. “I would hope those parents and kids who love both Camp Fire and the environment would contact Camp Fire Puget Sound’s executive leadership and tell them the continued blocking of the preservation of Waldo Woods is unacceptable.

For those who have questions or are interested in learning more about this preservation effort go to the Maple Leaf Community Council General Meeting tomorrow night (7-9pm) at Olympic View Elementary (5th NE & NE 95th).
