Neighbors for Green Space are in favor of:

• Maintaining the North Golf Course as the largest open green space in central Albuquerque
• Conserving trees on the North Golf Course that give beauty and protection from pollution
• Preserving the North Golf Course as a refuge for wildlife
• Keeping the North Golf Course as a revenue-generator for UNM
• Utilizing the two-mile perimeter trail for walking, exercise, and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle
• Setting aside permanently the North Golf Course and protecting it from development
• We support the Legislature's efforts to protect this valuable community resource
