MA DCR OHV trail use public meetings. 3/9/06

On Thursday March 9, there wil be a meeting for the public to discuss the details concerning the criteria for evaluating DCR or Other properties for ORV/ATV use.

What does that mean?

It means that we need to get as many people together as possible to attend this meeting and show support. While this meeting isn't really directed toward us (it's more for the ATV users than us) it is important that we show them we are out there and we don't want to be forgotten about.

The meeting will take place at Notch Visitors Center, Rte. 116, Amherst, MA from 7PM to 9PM.

we may set up a meeting place for use to get together before-hand.

Here's some reading concerning the plan:

Like I stated above.. this is more of an ATV thing than us.. but if they stop ATV use and take away their trails... we are next in line.

Please attend if you can.
