ORV Management In Sensitive Areas Of Wharton
- Thread starter Teegate
- Start date
Not trying to be secretive at all, my apologies if it came off that way. I'm on mobile now or I would post the pdf I got from Mark Texel, I will post it later when I get to a PC, but you can imaging what it says, just reiterating the FAQ drivel. With regards to the resolutions, I think cherokee261 might have posted the Medford Lakes one, but I don't think a soft copy has been been posted of the Medford one.
Ok, I Don't want to rain on anybody's parade but it's not over in these towns. I will have a copy of Medford Townships resolution tomorrow but this is the short of it. Yes they oppose it, for now, but Medford Township invited the DEP to be present at the next meeting on September 8th. That's the big one in my mind. It's after both sides are heard a decision could be made. We just got our voice heard at this point. I wish I could celebrate but there is still a major uphill battle.

This is my post with the Medford Lakes resolution, it shows up on page 32 of the thread (for me anyway). I'm a Medford Lakes council member, and it got passed here because I wrote it and thankfully my fellow council members agreed with my position. We sent it out to surrounding towns, but I encourage everyone to send a copy to their own town's elected officials and follow up, to include attending their next meeting to publicly ask them to pass the resolution. Medford also agreed with us and passed the same resolution last night. The more towns the better, it sends a strong message that we're not going to tolerate this assault on our rights!
Medford did indeed invite the DEP, but I can assure you if they are brave enough to show up, they will limp out feeling bruised and battered. Medford officials made that clear when they extended the invite!
I hope it all goes that well. I'm still celebrating a bit. It ain't over until the fat lady sings. Just saying.
I missed it again. I have to many trees. Maybe I should invite the volunteers over
The NJOA are meeting with the DEP. I hope these groups have the full opening of the roads in mind.

Agreed! We've had some small victories, but the worst mistake we could make is to become complacent, this is far from over.I hope it all goes that well. I'm still celebrating a bit. It ain't over until the fat lady sings. Just saying.
Burlington County Times article about the town resolutions.

For folk who are interested, I've attached the Medford resolution as well as the letter from Mark Texel.
"...ate the effectiveness of the M.A.P. to ensure that it meets the goals we all share of promoting access to the Forest and preserving and protecting the Forests environment..."
I don't like his word selection. I'm certain everyone that has signed the petition, written letters, called, etc to voice concerns about the park service's actions would not agree with preserving the forest. Conserve, yes. There is a big difference in meaning and action between those two words.
