November 29, 2000 <br /> To Whom It May Concern, <br /> It is my pleasure to write this letter for John Eagal to support the development of his <br /> nature preserve. It is my understanding that John is in need of an area to bring in either <br /> automobiles or buses from the local public and private schools. He also needs a permit to <br /> construct a facility for gathering the students for instructional purposes. This building would <br /> contain restrooms and double as a storage area for maintenance materials. These improvements <br /> would allow John to bring more students to the nature area. <br /> John Eagal has been a lover of nature and supporter of education for many years. He has <br /> allowed students and scout troops to visit his natural settings in the south county area and west of <br /> Stockton to learn about the benefits of our natural assets. He has also placed into motion a <br /> program to show the stresses of our society on our environment. With your help and John's <br /> drive, we can provide another natural learning station for our children. <br /> Among the educational benefits this nature preserve would extend would be to <br /> compliment the fine program that San Joaquin County provides at the Science Camp at Jones <br /> Gulch and Redwood Glen. The younger children would be given some elementary information <br /> and allowed to explore the habitat to learn with guidance of John and the classroom teacher. The <br /> older children could draw upon their Science Camp experience to further understand the ties <br /> between our ecology(the valley and deka) and that of the coast and the coastal forest. <br /> The greater good can be awarded our children by providing this arca adequate facilities to <br /> house instructional programs. Mr.Eagal is willing to provide his lands for environmental study. <br /> It would be substantially beneficial for the children of our area if the powers that be in San <br /> Joaquin County Government would grant John Eagal the necessary permission to further develop <br /> this natural preserve and provide one more excellent teaching station. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> Charles A. Buettner, Owner <br /> Carden School of Stockton ' <br /> CB:mt <br /> 1200 W. Hammer Lane Stockton, CA 95209 (209) 478-8135 <br />
