Time To Get Serious About Our Headwaters


Recommended Posts

^ What he said. Sounds as though the responses to the government have been pretty evenly split between support and opposition. Government has noted the lack of support from the hunting and angling community. That's incredibly disappointing.

This from the AB Wilderness Assc really resonated with me... Joanna Skrajny, Conservation Specialist with Alberta Wilderness Association: “Approximately 90% of Alberta’s provincial public land is open to motorized recreation even though only 2-6% of the population uses OHVs for fun. Deadline for the consultation period is extended, so if you haven;t done it yet, you have no good excuse ;)

This is the debate between "Entitlement" and "Privilege". The only avenue to get movement towards a more rational outcome is for the protectors of the back-country to Engage with Government. Unfortunately a voice that whispers or says nothing will not be listened to.
