Our land use issues pale Ain comparison to the concerns that our citizens have about our country. But we must continue to voice our opinions and give our feedback to our legislators and government officials. Be sure to read Jo Snyder’s article about how important it is to be a responsible citi- zen by voting. Our voices are more important in this election than they have been in a very long time. It is also important to read and understand the articles written by our natural resources consultants. They address some serious concerns that we have regarding the state’s plan to reorganize State Parks, which may include major changes to the OHV program. We encourage you to take action if you can. See you on the trail. — Suzy Johnson, Editor/Web
