University plans for timbering come to a stand-still

The outdoor classroom could be a learning environment for everyone, not just the environmental science majors. Outdoor journaling would be available for English majors. History students could study the natural resources and artifacts. Consumer sciences could have a community gardening space. Mathematicians could measure trees and determine slope. Physical education would be able to do activities across it, and art students would be able to photograph or draw landscapes and animals.
The money that will be made from the timbering of the trees will go directly back to benefit the students. The plan is to put the money into the projects that will occur on this piece of land.
The task force is also considering talking to students, or having a student survey done to get the students' opinions of what should be done to the land.
"We and the students must remember we will be working on a budget, for whatever the plans are," said (FIRST NAME) Buzzelli, part of the task force team.
The task force is also going to communicate with the local community to discuss who will be able to use the land and if they have any ideas of what could be done with it.
Since Robert Morris is a private University, it does not have to open it to the public, but
"I'm sure we will invite them onto it," added Buzzelli. "It will be difficult though, since we only have so much parking here at the University".
These are all plans of the future timbering process. And until the entire task force agrees, they will not be doing much other than discussing ideas.
The people of Moon Township require the University to have a plan for the land before they will approve the timbering of it.
