Protecting areas from abuse and overuse DOES NOT require transferring the land into Parks authority.
I sure wish BHA could understand this....[/QUOTE]
^^ this. ^^.
I spend a lot of time in these areas. And most of the damage I have seen is from yuppies going camping and leaving their Walmart tents and camp sets behind when it rains because they don’t want to pack up wet camping gear or are too hungover to care.
There are already laws in place that prohibit this. But it still happens. Changing this area to a park only makes it more difficult for responsible law abiding folks to use. (Similar to banning firearms) but doesn’t really do anything for folks who don’t give a care. . The 40+ million that this project is going to cost would go a long way to better enforcement of existing regulations.
