December 12 was the final meeting of the stakeholder groups providing input into the final draft of the Bowmont Natural Area Management Plan. The Management Plan will be finalized in April 2002 and is expected to go before the SPC in May or June. CMBA will be there to support the management plan, as well as to state our position on issues such as environmental protection and the equivalent impact caused by hikers and cyclists. We would also like to help with user education and volunteer trail maintenance. Stay tuned!
