Very true. But don’t underestimate @BuzzH. I’ve seen him in action with decision makers. He is aware of his audience. Pissed off might just be what is needed.
Wait until you see what the Hathaway scholarship adds. Wyo is a great choice. If it wasn’t for having to live in the dorms for a year, I suspect the substitute pay would be enough to cover it.
One set of grandparents put two kids through college on income from an 80 acre dairy farm. Other grandparents put two sons through Lehigh on a machinist salary. My parents put three kids through college on a combination of engineers and nurse income and private scholarships. I am putting two...
Compared to the pearl clutching earlier this year over potentially over-flowing FS shitters, the concern over permittless firewood cutting seems so.........

I see your point, and I used to be 100% on board with it. But to be honest the longer I see the continued decline of MD across the board in the west the more I think so much of the money spent has been the equivalent of a band aide on a bullet wound. In the last 20 years we have gathered so...
I don't disagree. Just making the point that there is far more involved in the decline of MD than any one thing and simply throwing more money at it will not necessarily solve the problem. I wonder if that cheatgrass treatment had been done 10 years earlier, would it have made a shits bit...
A few years ago I was on a committee that was to decide how to use the funds generated from a large conservation org banquet in Wyo. If I recall it raised several $100,000. We received proposals from multiple research groups, agencies, conservation orgs and private entities requesting funding...
There would be from me. I think its a rather easy argument to make that the population declines in MD are not due to a lack of funding. Western states spend 10's of millions on MD management each year and is there any state that is seeing large scale improvement over time on MD? Perhaps this...
