Trust for Public Land, community partners and online commenters tell OHA they support acquisitions and stewardship
Summary
Representatives from Trust for Public Land and community commenters voiced support for OHA involvement in proposed transfers; Leo of TPL and online testifiers offered readiness to assist and answer questions as staff conduct due diligence.
Leo, identified as the state director of the Trust for Public Land, told trustees TPL supports the acquisition proposals and thanked trustees for a site visit. "I think the land speaks for itself," he said, and offered organizational support and answers to questions.
Multiple other commenters—one who identified as a local president and an online testifier (Adam)—expressed gratitude for staff and trustee work and said they would follow up via email with concerns and additional information. Staff and trustees thanked partners, noted the importance of local stewardship, and signaled interest in trustee site visits before any final acquisition decision.
The public testimony underscored community stewardship efforts, neighborhood-board endorsements and partner willingness to assist with long-term management if the board moves forward following due diligence.
