There lies the problem. What they say they intend to do and what they actually do are not always one in the same.
From what I've heard the LRCT was suppose to leave the land open but changed all that when the land was acquired.
While I'm glad to see land in Conservation verses being developed it is still a shame to see land closed down once it is put that way.
For instance I also like to hike and Mtn bike. The AMC put some of their resources towards something that has absolutely no effect on hiking what so ever when they supported the speed limit. This is another example of why I’m very reserved about donating any money to any organization.
So I would rather place my donations directly into the fund that benefits what I like such as snowmobiling. Instead of donating money I donate days of my time to two of the local clubs building bridges, clearing dead tree’s putting up signs etc.
