Hopefully, the ATV access debate will get resolved by sensible folks.
We were at a joint session in Weymouth a couple of years ago with various
stakeholders regarding the future of the Silver River/New France lands. It
wasn't too difficult to agree to maintain access on the main existing
trails, open no new trails, and work together to accommodate times and
places when species at risk and sensitive environments might be adversely
affected. Wasn't rocket science, but did require a little mutual respect.
Maybe that's easier to achieve in smaller communities where folks in one
camp know those in another! :-)
By the way, another thing that environmentalists and ATV associations easily
agreed to was doing our damnedest to stop the depredations of the cowboys.
I suppose we could work together more to achieve that, but we have discussed
the issue at times already. And I found that the ATV Association had good
suggestions.

Subject: [NatureNS] Protected areas; ATV use
Dear All, Jan 22, 2016
I have noticed fair traffic in Voice of the People about ATV access. Can
someone bring me up to date on current practice ?
For example:
1) Are there any hiking trails in some or all of these areas ?
2) If there are trails, who pays for clearing windfalls from the trails and
maintaining trail markers; a charity or tax dollars (directly or indirectly)
?
3) Or are windfalls left to dispose of themselves naturally ?
4) In event of fire is the standard practice to just let it burn itself out
until it extends beyond the protected area ?
5) In event of accident or sudden illness how is the invalid moved from the
protected area ?
