Some of you have seen this message on other lists, some may have gotten it in the mail, but here�s the low down on the upcoming Southern Kettles / Northern Kettles meeting. This is open to the public, and is not a presentation but an opportunity for you go show up anytime between 4:30 and 7:30 to get answers and be heard. I recommend a lot of people show up and fill out the comment cards � and mention you are a mountain biker on the card!
If you can't attend, emails may be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (northern unit) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (southern unit) The State of Wisconsin / Department of Natural Resources is holding two public forums regarding the Off-Road Bike Trails of the Northern & Southern Units of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Northern Unit Kettle Moraine State Forest Wednesday, January 29th, 2003 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Henry S. Reuss Ice Age Visitor Center N2875 Hwy 67, Campbellsport, WI 53010. Southern Unit Kettle Moraine State Forest Thursday, January 30th, 2003 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Eagle Municipal Building 820 E. Main St., Eagle, WI 53119. Department staff will be available to answer questions and gather comments. Anyone with an interest is invited to attend. Since there will be no formal presentation, visitors are welcome throughout the time periods listed. Listed below are the recommendations that will be presented to the Natural Resources Board later this year. 1. Continue to implement the current Master Plans for the Northern and Southern Units of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. 2. Maintain the current mileage of off-road bike trails on both forests; consider, separating the trail treads that are used for both off-road biking and cross-country skiing in the Northern Unit. 3. Maintain the off-road bike trail systems in the current ocations. 4. Rebuild sections of the off-road trails to bring them up to IMBA trail standards by 2006, in partnership with WORBA and other organizations. 5. Remediate abandoned trail sections to original grades by placement of native soils and replant with native vegetation, where trails are re-located to bring them up to IMBA standards. 6. Add a parallel trail tread to the connector trail between the Muir and Carlin trails on the Southern Unit, to allow for safer on-way traffic on this trail route. 7. Continue to explore measures to mitigate overcrowding of the rails in the future. Don�t understand what one or more of these points mean? Go there and ask! _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
