Folks,ONF is under attack by the guise of trying to get a SCENIC HIGHWAY DESIGNATION. The lady that sits on this commission is Linda Duever, she's with the WILDLANDS PROJECT. Here's her link

You can decide to fight against this, or sit on your a$$ and lose another area.

He/she sounds like Rico is developing another persona
Yeah, that's what it sounds like to me also...hey wait a minute.
On a serious note...this chick is kinda hot.
Maybe if I save a tree, I'll get some action.
I got a tree. If you stick right up where the sun don't shine you can save it.
Where is some ifno on the highway?
I refused to sign the petition that was out at the ONF ride on the 30th because I felt that the flyers were not telling the entire story but I wanted more info and got none from the guy there.
I guess I'll check it out now.

Thanks to the efforts of dedicated CTF members, 952 acres of prime native Florida habitat in northern Marion County will be preserved! Known as Price's Scrub, just south of the Alachua County line adjacent to I -75, the parcel has been spared from development and will become a state-owned preserve and low-impact recreation area.
CTF is in the very early stages of collaborative work with several other organizations to protect a corridor that would connect the Ocala National Forest with the Osceola National Forest and Okefenokee Swamp. This 60-something mile corridor has been identified as one of the 10 most important wildlife and greenway connections in the state. Meetings and plans are ongoing; stay tuned for this one!

I think this is a positive project, and you should all voice your strong support of it.
It will make our forest safe from the out of control ATVers who want to tear up the environment!
We don't want to tear up the environment. Personally, I love being able to see the scenery at the places we ride, and I'd never be able to walk there. Some people like to see these areas, they don't just want to tear up the environment as you say. I'm sure you'd ride an ATV too if it enabled you to see the stuff in ONF without having to walk/bike 15+ miles to see it. Think of the people who want to see ONF but have disibilities? They can't hike or ride a bike.
I don't want to see trees or forest torn down. I think the erosion caused by ATVs is alot better than the housing developments going in at Mecca farms..
Bad2the bone, you are an infiltrator and I want EVERYONE TO KNOW. I am willing to bet anything that you are part of this group that wants to create this "Corridor", a corridor where no one can even walk. You must subscribe to the WILDLANDS PROJECT. You and your kind are the kind of extremist that need to be stopped immediately. Your are trying to pass this is a non bindiong referendum, and refusing to answer questions in a Public meeting. Too bad someone sniffed you out...
bad2thebone, when was the last time you went bird watching through trails you DMF ?

You don't even need to leave your house to go birdwatching now.
They have virtual birdwatching online....less time standing around.
True ....true !
The other side S---ks... Guess what side bad2thebone is on. Your all wrong you have no idea. Thrumud - your so far off base your out in space, and don't know which side is up.
Enough - First Lswjth2 if you want someone to do something about a problem, provide them with a link that gives them information on what the problem is, the link you provided says nothing about scenic highways. If seems like a grudge between you the what ever the ladys name is or you just want to spout your mouth off.
Second - Thrumud - birding watching is not my speciality, the ONF is part of me. I respect it, and I might not like the trails they have put there, but guess what, I am only a small person and I can't fight city hall, so I might as well acept it.
The only thing I see postive on this site is a few people that want the correct information, the rest of the people is all they want to do is wine and cry and wait till someone does something for them. Quite wining and crying, this site will never organize enough to be a powerful source. I heard someone was willing to step up to the plate and no one wanted to do anything. I guess this is a lost cause.
So which side are you on??the wildlands project side or the side of the people that believe public lands are to be enjoyed by the entire public??
I am part of raptors side.. Figure it out.. We are trying to find mining companies that will lease us some land to ride on. But with your attitudes, and lack of help, raptor is going to say forget about you guys.
If you want to be part and help, search out some mining companies that we can contact for places to ride. I am going to need location and contact names if possible.
I guess you are then part lizard. I get it. Be careful, be very careful "loving" those animals, they bite back and hard......
Yes, Lizards bite back hard, raptors bit even harder.
Ok - I must be missing something...bad2thebone states he is on raptors side..isn't raptor with stewards of the land.
Is everyone saying Stewards of the Land is not on our side..this thread really has confused me..

Glad to see you took the time to look up something you told me I should have before I posted. I had already looked them up and talked to raptor a few times. You were part of a thread they had before - that is why I posted that I was confused. One minute you supported them, the next you were bashing them!
I am not trying to start anything (I saw your apology thread) but to come across as you did above was well rude.
Stewards of the land are good people
