page of the Herald today:

Wilderness Areas and the Premier is sympathetic. We need to counteract =
this before it get's worse. Letters to the Herald and calls and letters =
to MLAs supporting motorized-free protected areas would be a good start. =
Is this something you guys could help out with that would be great Jim.  =
Rural voices are the most important. Let's chat.
