Update:   Decisions on the proposed additions and expansions to the Natural Features Protections areas had been postponed by the NFP Review Board. The Commission found that there was not enough time in the original schedule to notify the property owners adjacent to the new NFP-designated sites.  The Planning Commission requested further information, clarification and community engagement. The next NFP Board meeting is planned for February 23, 2021 where City staff will be reviewing the map and any recommended text amendments with the board.    Plans are to bring the proposed NFP expansion back to the Planning Commission in late spring.

Statement approved by the Asylum Lake Preservation Association Board of Directors, August 18, 2020:

The board of directors of the Asylum Lake Preservation Association endorses the effort of the Stewards of Kleinstuck's "Keep Kalamazoo Wild" campaign to purchase twelve acres adjacent to the Kleinstuck Preserve in order to keep it undeveloped.  Especially, since we understand the devastating impact of development on the border of precious  green space in the city, we feel an urgency to make sure that this land is purchased by the Stewards to prevent a possible development of over 100 housing units on the land at 2000 Hudson Street.  We invite our members and friends to visit the Keep Kalamazoo Wild website: keepkalamazoowild.com  to find out the details of the campaign and how to contribute.    The purchase of the land and the arrangements for holding it are secure; all that is needed is financial support from the community.
