A snowmobile club needs help fast! Two days to act!

A local snowmobile club needs help and fast! Please read and pass on to any snowmobiler that you know. This is one of a very few chances to get a snowmobile trail to the bay of Green Bay. This Friday is the last shot or it will never be! Remember we saw what happened in the state forest by Twin bridge.

From the River Road Riders
As you know, our trail south of Peshtigo is our attempt at getting a snowmobile trail to access the bay of Green Bay. In order to complete the trail, we need to cross a portion of land in the Peshtigo Wildlife Area.

This request has to go thru a planning stage. Our trail boss Chuck attended a public meeting in March and presented a letter of our intent as well as a detailed map for the trail placement. The planning committee has received letters in opposition of the trail so the RRR needs you to send an email in support of this trail.

Our window of opportunity is very narrow as these letters(emails) of support have to be received by this Friday as that is the closing date of the public comment/input stage.
The email in support of the trail needs to go to the Lead Planner, Yoyi Steele. The email address where your email needs to go is yoyi.steele@wisconsin.gov . It does not need to be lengthy but it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that this be done or our voices will be drowned out by the opposition and the trail will not go through.
Please ask anyone else that you know to help us out by contacting the lead planner as well.

Thanks!
