   Well John that has been our observations on several trail groups I&#39;ve
  </div> 
  <div>
   been associated with over the years. ATVers are very helpful.
  </div> 
  <div>
   I suspect closer to bigger centers Cowboys may be more plentiful
  </div> 
  <div>
   although I was a Cowboy myself in my younger days. The real kind who
  </div> 
  <div>
   worked with cows!
  </div> 
  <div>
   The worst are bicycles&#160; Those folks think they are better than other humans on
  </div> 
  <div>
   the trail and all should bow before them. but I guess its easier to stop an ATV
  </div> 
  <div>
   and get it up to speed than it is with a bicycles. And harder to get their hand in
  </div> 
  <div>
   the pocket when funds are needed!
  </div> 
  <div>
   Enjoy the winter

   <br/>&#62; Hopefully, the ATV access debate will get resolved by sensible folks. 
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; We were at a joint session in Weymouth a couple of years ago with various
   <br/>&#62; stakeholders regarding the future of the Silver River/New France lands. It
   <br/>&#62; wasn&#39;t too difficult to agree to maintain access on the main existing
   <br/>&#62; trails, open no new trails, and work together to accommodate times and
   <br/>&#62; places when species at risk and sensitive environments might be adversely
   <br/>&#62; affected. Wasn&#39;t rocket science, but did require a little mutual respect.
   <br/>&#62; Maybe that&#39;s easier to achieve in smaller communities where folks in one
   <br/>&#62; camp know those in another! :-)
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; By the way, another thing that environmentalists and ATV associations easily
   <br/>&#62; agreed to was doing our damnedest to stop the depredations of the cowboys.
   <br/>&#62; I suppose we could work together more to achieve that, but we have discussed
   <br/>&#62; the issue at times already. And I found that the ATV Association had good
   <br/>&#62; suggestions.

   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; Dear All, Jan 22, 2016
   <br/>&#62; I have noticed fair traffic in Voice of the People about ATV access. Can
   <br/>&#62; someone bring me up to date on current practice ?
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; For example:
   <br/>&#62; 1) Are there any hiking trails in some or all of these areas ?
   <br/>&#62; 2) If there are trails, who pays for clearing windfalls from the trails and
   <br/>&#62; maintaining trail markers; a charity or tax dollars (directly or indirectly)
   <br/>&#62; ?
   <br/>&#62; 3) Or are windfalls left to dispose of themselves naturally ?
   <br/>&#62; 4) In event of fire is the standard practice to just let it burn itself out
   <br/>&#62; until it extends beyond the protected area ?
   <br/>&#62; 5) In event of accident or sudden illness how is the invalid moved from the
   <br/>&#62; protected area ?
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
