Re: [RC] re: RC] Bryce Canyon 5 day - Karen - Barbara McCrary
From long experience, I know that many of the promoters
of land preservation, most often non-horse people, cannot (or will not) believe
that horses do not cause destruction. It might be worth trying, but this would
be a long, hard fight, which AERC would probably lose.
The Wilderness Act was well intentioned and has much good
about it. The problem is that, like strip mining, it went to
extremes. We, through the AERC and other means, need to work toward not
eliminating Wilderness designation but improving it. Moving away from
the extreme and toward moderation, that allows non-destructive uses such
as endurance rides.
