NOW is the time to make your voice heard!
The USFS scoping letter has been released.
The Scoping letter contains a proposal that the existing short trail to Williamson Rock be improved and re-opened to allow the re-opening of Williamson Rock to climbing (the entire crag has been closed since 2005).
You may also download the scoping letter (PDF) on the FoWR blog here.
http://williamsonrock.org/blog/
Positive comments from the climbing community are encouraged in the form of a written letter (preferred over e-mail).
Quantity is the key here, we need a lot of climbers to write in, so forward this to your climbing partners!
Some general writing points (keep it simple):
-The MYLF (Mountain Yellow Legged Frog) and climbing can co-exist.
-Climbers respect and care for the natural areas in which we climb.
-Climbers are willing to work with the USFS and other agencies to mitigate the problem (that’s why we organized FoWR).
-Climbers are good stewards of the area.
-Climbing is a valid and historical use of the area.
-Williamson is a very valuable resource to climbers (no alternative crag like it).
-Climbers support the “Proposed Action”.
Comments may be mailed to:
John F. Capell, District Ranger
Attn. Jonathan Schwartz
Santa Clara/Mojave Rivers Ranger District
30800 Bouquet Canyon Road
Saugus, CA 91390
Letters are due no later than June 6, 2007
