Jamie - do you think the recreational access to agricultural grazing leases program works well? If you do I can see why your in foavor of the program. Personally I know of many failures in that program, where residents are denied access due to outfitting activities or the whim of the leaseholder. My understanding is that access will be managed in this program in the same manner under the same program. If that is the case I would be willing to bet the average albertan sportsman will never step foot on any of the property in question.
I agree the payment system to landowners conserving habitat and allowing new hunting opportunities is a good idea if it can be run efficiently
