Cabins on Public Land

I case you did not hear about this, here is a link to an article outlining how the Forest Service deals with leases and lease rates.  You need to read this in its entirety.

And a link to the group that is fighting it.

Look for the Alternative Fee Model Proposal from the C2 Coalition

We need to work hard to make sure that through this Stewardship Council process we don't screw the stewards of these lands - the ones that have been taking care of these lands for 70 years - the local Philbrook community.

Thanks for the updates Nick.   We heard about this on the national news awhile back, but couldn't find anything to back up what was said.  We hoped we heard it wrong, but guess not!

Nick
pls see attached re. conservation language  (in the first or second section)
my recollection from a couple years back was that I copied (then modified) the mission statement of the Stewardship Council

I will give a little thought regarding some structure, info, pictures & description of work completed that could be tied into the front page of the web site with a conservation description/objective.
