People keep writing that, but then don't explain what the point actually is.
Here's my take: You (and many, if not most, people) don't like smoke from forest fires (mostly because it's annoying and potentially dangerous, especially to people with existing respiratory health issues) and you...
In my mind it's not so much a money issue as a policy issue. We need more prescribed burning, but 'the public' doesn't want any smoke or any chance of an escape, so it's not done nearly as much as it needs to be. If we spend the money/funding on prescribed fires that we do fighting mega fires...
I just became aware of this proposed mining operation in the Black Hills NF. I know we all use/need minerals, but just want to make sure this is the right place for 132 acres of surface disturbance for at least several decades. Detailed info here...
I like the non-food ideas (I don't need to attract anymore mice to my house/garage. Salt seems like a viable option and cheap. I don't have any ground up rubber lying around...or kids, at least not that I can carry on my back.

I volunteer with CO Chapter of BHA and a fellow volunteer brought up an issue in San Miguel county. A new land owner has closed two roads, at least one of which is the only access to some public land. What steps should he take? Who should he contact? What documentation is required to prove...
You can send money to CRWM. Roberts attends the Sportsmans Day at the Capitol (BBQ lunch) and the Sportsmans Legislative Reception every Jan/Feb (dinner at Buckhorn Exchange). Both events are organized by CRWM.
Or slightly more indirectly, contribute to BHA, RMEF, SCI etc who all sponsor...
I signed up to become an instructor and helped teach two weekend classes (in CO they have or had a two-day class that covered the entire curriculum). I quit mostly because I still had kids and full-time job and had a hard time committing to two 12-hour days every month or so. I am very grateful...
