well frankly, the obvious flaming on those landowners here, more than just being obvious, is causing me to reflect on my own bias while posting on this real meeting I attended, instead of fighting personal demons in some outrage internet comment. First and foremost -- why did the people in that meeting bother to show up? maybe because the ones in the room (mostly) DO care about the wildlands. So my comment about "there is the door" was my own projection.. no one in that meeting said that, I did while thinking about it.. Those people did meet and probably some of them are now part of this proposed corridor action
- germinalphrase 4y agoWere you present as an owner of wild lands? Would you join this proposed plan?
- mistrial9 4y agoI presented a small bit of technical detail at that meeting as part of the convening environmentalist organization; zero interest in computers there, basically. re: decisions, the authority of a single vote YES/NO is at a maximum in that crowd; even getting the physical meeting was a year+ of prep IIR.
- cratermoon 4y agoI do hope you find allies. There are people out there with genuine conservationist intent. These days I hear way more about the people who insist on their rights to do whatever they want with "their" land.
