Re: Sierra Club

["Steven Proe" <trails@jps.net>]

Hi To All: Surprise I do support the Sierra Club although I am not
authorized to speak for them.
I have been a active trail horse and hiking trail advocate for at least the
past 12 yrs. that I have moved to Northern CA.
I have spent more of my time and personal funds to preserve our trails
especially in our Northern CA Region than I can afford.
My personal view is that when ever some thing is stated that it is The
SIERRA CLUB that did/is doing it has been accepted by most as GOSPEL/Truth.
At least in Northern CA. I have been very involved in trail activities and
other environmentalist activities. It is my knowledge that if we blindly
trust in our Local, State, Federal and Local Rider Group representatives for
all of the information that is accepted regarding trails you are all in for
a big surprise. IT WILL BE THE LOSS OF MOST OF "OUR TRAILS". I suggest that
the people that CONDEMN the activities of the Sierra Club, and it's members
take the time out of their busy lives to get involved in the process as I
have. I have been and shall continue to be an active activist  in the Goals
of preserving our trails and the adjacent habitat that most of us enjoy.
I could go on for ever, if anybody wishes more information on events that I
am able to assist and inform. Please E-Mail or call 530-823-1662. I will
hopefully attempt to inform as I am able. Thanks To All and please do not
blindly follow what is told to you over a Web Page or Campfire.
                          STEVE PROE

>Based on some of the comments I've read recently, I'm beginning to wonder
if it is impossible to be an environmentalist (i.e. Sierra Club member) and
a participating member of the endurance community.    Please help me
understand some of the anti-environmental sentiment being voiced on
Ridecamp.  What have your experiences been with Sierra Club members and
other environmentalists?  Any environmentalists out there and how do you
reconcile concerns for the environment with your passion for endurance
riding?
