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  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 </div> <div> Paul </div> <div>   </div> <div> <br/>> On January 23, 2016 at 5:19 AM John and Nhung <nhungjohn@eastlink.ca> wrote: <br/>> <br/>> <br/>> Hopefully, the ATV access debate will get resolved by sensible folks. <br/>> <br/>> We were at a joint session in Weymouth a couple of years ago with various <br/>> stakeholders regarding the future of the Silver River/New France lands. It <br/>> wasn't too difficult to agree to maintain access on the main existing <br/>> trails, open no new trails, and work together to accommodate times and <br/>> places when species at risk and sensitive environments might be adversely <br/>> affected.

Can <br/>> someone bring me up to date on current practice ? <br/>> <br/>> For example: <br/>> 1) Are there any hiking trails in some or all of these areas ? <br/>> 2) If there are trails, who pays for clearing windfalls from the trails and <br/>> maintaining trail markers; a charity or tax dollars (directly or indirectly) <br/>> ? <br/>> 3) Or are windfalls left to dispose of themselves naturally ? <br/>> 4) In event of fire is the standard practice to just let it burn itself out <br/>> until it extends beyond the protected area ? <br/>> 5) In event of accident or sudden illness how is the invalid moved from the <br/>> protected area ? <br/>> <br/>> Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville <br/>> <br/>> <br/>> --- <br/>> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. <br/>> https://www.avast.com/antivirus <br/>> </div> </body></html>
