[QUOTE="pokey, post: 1291299, member: 16075"] From Arlene Brooks wa. state dir. PNW4WDA The following was received from the Department of Natural Resources with regards to Reiter Foothills and its future. I have asked that Region Director's address this at their next meeting - your input on this matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Arlene Hi Arlene, I need your help in getting the word out, vandalism at Reiter is unacceptable and if it continues there is a high risk of the ORV community losing access to this area. I can't emphasize enough that we all are being watched with skepticism that ORV'ers are responsible recreationalist. I know that these are not your members but I need your help in sending a loud and visible message to the ORV community that success or failure in keeping existing or creating new opportunities for ORV facilities is in their hands. The fact that whoever did this clearly was driving up a creek and destroying public property(Cable fence) tells me that they were not members of your organization but they are unfortunately tainting the whole ORV community. The continued destruction of public property by the few will impact future ORV access opportunities across the state. More importantly, based on the conversations I have had with Commissioner Goldmark, this behavior is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated by the department. For our part, we are beefing up our emphasis patrols, we have been and will continue to write citations and the region will be working with the local user groups to set up a more formal Forest Watch program to make sure that we nip this unacceptable behavior in the bud. My focus is to make sure that the implementation of the Reiter Plan is successful, however, I can't be successful without the support of the ORV community and the ORV community cannot be successful in opening up new areas such as Reiter without the support of the recreational community, Department of Natural Resources and the State Legislature .........we all have a lot riding on being successful at Reiter. Any thoughts or suggestions you may have on how to turn this around would be wecome. Thanks, Mark Mark Mauren, Assistant Division Manager Recreation, Public Access and WCC Programs Asset Management and Recreation Division Washingtion State Department of Natural Resources [email]mark.mauren@dnr.wa.gov[/email] ### Arlene Brooks, WA. State Director (pnw4wda -c) [/QUOTE]
