Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), prescribes that the loss of anything of
substantial value either money or things that may impact the
environment including " trails " they Must comply with (CEQA) and other
laws .
Subject: [RC] Your Help Needed to Keep
Trails Plan Intact
In a recent meeting of the Trails Advisory
Committtee, Jan Delio of County Parks commented that she has only heard
from Dorothy Jennings and Kathe Hustace re trails, especially in North County,
SLO. There are a large number of proposed trails which County Parks is
willing to eliminate from the proposed Trail Plan due to opposition from
agriculture, notably the Farm Bureau and the Cattlemen's Association.
These folks do not seem to realize the changing demography of SLO County and
that the future of agriculture really relies on attracting the public, ie
wineries, farm stays, rural vegetable stands and farms, to their farms and
ranches. Many plans that have been produced to sustain agriculture in
highly developed counties call for agricultural groups to promote
trails. Its just a very new concept in our area.
If you truly support trails, plea! se take a few
minutes and email Jan Dileo at jdileo@xxxxxxxxxxxx and let her know that there are
individuals and please mention the group that you represent if you are
speaking for a number of people, that support her and trails in San Luis
Obispo County!!! Please forward to other trail folks that you know and
we really need to get more individuals involved in NCTA and trails!
Thanks a bunch!
Kathe Hustace,
President, North County Trails
Association
Above is a letter received from a local trails
group (San Luis Obispo County, California) trying to promote and protect
trails as the area is being developed hand over fist. Please take the time to
respond to the e-mail address included and express your support for trails
(especially connecting trails) throughout Californ! ia. Trails are often
piecemeal until they all come together and then you have some distance for
riding enjoyment. Many years have gone into dreaming and planning. Please help
us not to lose them, now.
