Please demonstrate your support of the plan to protect the longevity of the CHS Memorial Forest by having SPS sell the development rights of the property to the KCPD so the property can never be developed for any other use by SPS or any future owner.
For years, CHS alumni have been concerned about the CHS Memorial Forest being sold or developed for some use other than being a memorial. The best way to protect the forest is to sell the development rights of the property to the King County Parks Department. This would result in a conservation easement being placed on the property to prevent development by Seattle Public Schools (SPS) or any future buyer of the property. King County (KC) Parks is very much interested in purchasing the development rights as part of their conservation program. The school district and park department are working on an agreement to make this happen, but the idea still needs to be approved by the Seattle School Board. This is where you may be able to help.
