Give Input to the Feds this Thursday!

[lightD]

There's a public meeting this Thursday at 6:30P at Seattle's Franklin High to gather input on federal conservation and recreation policy issues. The motivation for the meeting is supposedly to support a '21st Century Conservation Policy' per a recent presidential directive.

 

If you have the time and inclination you can go give Interior, the EPA and USDA (Forest Service's parent...) an earful about MRNP solo permits, NPS Base Jumping rules, washed out roads all over the Cascades, timber and fisheries conservation rules, the insane management and under-utilization of Yosemite campgrounds in the fall, or anything else. There's lots to choose from! I'm sure that many of us have something to add.

 

If nothing else, you can see who else shows up and which groups are making a point to represent themselves. Climbers sometimes fall off that list, but maybe not this time.

 

Here are the details - note that an RSVP seems to be required:
