Watagan State Forest Draft Plan - CLOSURE

For all those who frequest the watagans area, a new draft plan has just comeout that will take effect in 90 days. I havnt found it on the NPWS web site yet but the plans include closing down a heap of the good tracks in the are the the extend that only bush walkers will be allowed not even push bike's

tracks due for closure include
Slipery Rock
Rope Rd
Whitmans Lane
Zig Zags
And more

In addition to this as you know there is a planned extension of the gardens of stome NP that will include closure of many tracks in the newnes area.

It is time, we need to get a working group together and do something about this. If we dont get serious and lobby the Govt then within 5 years there will be no tracks left to drive on except graded dirt roads

I will pass this on the Jon Jenkins for started and the association, but I would like any interested people to email me at adam@my4x4.com.au to get together a working group to start lobbying the govt and getting decent media exposre.

Our recreation is safe and legitimate and closing down parks etc from real public use is not what we want for our children

Lets start aproaching this problem in a positive manner and work together with the association and Jon Jenkins
Heres the thread (ps. you need to be a member on OL)
