[RC] GCTC - Osborne Hill Acquisition Wins Support - Sherman
Here's a good example of what can happen when trail
users work together for a common goal.....
GCTC member, John Gardiner (BONC - Bicyclists of
Nevada County) passes along the outcome of a recent meeting concerning
Osborne Hill & Empire Mine State Park:
Osborne Hill Acquisition Wins
Support
On Tuesday, the Nevada County Board of
Supervisors unanimously voted to support the acquisition of a parcel on
Osborne Hill as part of Empire Mine State Park! Funds to buy this parcel
would come from Prop 50
money and is still contingent on a successful
grant application.
Many members of the community showed up an
voiced support for this proposal, including hikers, equestrains, bikers
and others. Sometimes, trail advocacy seems like an obscure, thanksless
activity. And then there are times like this when we are profoundly
reminded why it is all completely worth it :-)
Now the grant
application process continues. You can help by making a donation to the
Rural Quality
Foundation. (PO Box 1346, Nevada City, CA 95959).
Note that you want your contibution to help the cost of authoring and
submitting this grant (which costs thousands of dollars to have
written).
