Jessup River UMP Amendment - Comment Deadline Extended |
|
Jessup River Wild Forest UMP 2010 Amendment
The recently issued amendment 2010 draft amendment to the 2005/2006 Jessup River Wild Forest Unit Management Plan has a number of signifigant negative changes. NYSSA is very concerned that the are trail closures that are unnecessary under the guidelines and as a result will isolate users and businesses who have historically had access to the trail system. The amendment should have leveraged the Class I Trail guidelines to preserve access by residents, visitors and businesses.
Your calls, e-mails, and letters are needed to preserve trail access to all snowmobilers.
Your letter will have the greatest impact, if it is a unique original statement about the impact of the proposed changes and why you think the proposed changes are not valid.
If you utitlize the example letter, it is critical that you personalize, edit and add your own comments on this matter for your letter to count.
