From Sue Drum-State support needed!

Hi everyone,

We can now collect signatures against the NHAL State Forest experimental ATV loop trails on line at the following address: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/123ATV/petition.html

I have been told that this is definately a state-wide issue and to have an impact we must get people to object to the ATV trail at each of the public forums. I have friends in Oshkosh that I will try to get to go to the May 3rd, Neenah - Neenah Public Library, also we have members in Madison that should go to the May 4th Fitchburg - Fitchburg Community Center, I have no contacts in Wausau for May 9th - Wausau Park Inn. The hearing portion runs from 6 - 8 p.m. where citizens get to express themselves. An open house starts at 3 p.m. and DNR staff will be available to answer questions, informally.

Again it is very important that you send a letter to Dennis Leith so he can prove that there is significant resistance against ATV trails in the NHAL.

You can view the Master Plan - go to ATV trail section for a map of proposed area.

The scheduled hearings are also listed at this site.

I have sent a Letter to the Editor at both Lakeland Times and Vils County News. Please also write letters to the editor. Kevin McCullough, Lakeland Times outdoor editor will write an editorial against the ATV trail hopefully in the Friday, April 29th issue. Keep trying to get signatures.
If you want to stop this trail it is now or never.
Good Luck! Sue Drum
