Bc Parks has presented a draft management plan: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/planning/mgmtplns/golden_ears/golden-ears-mp-public-rev.pdf
A comments section for public input due on Weds. Feb. 15th: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/planning/mgmtplns/golden_ears/golden-ears-draftMP-comments.html
I urge any [HTML_REMOVED] all mountain bikers who have an interest in expanded single track opportunity (Everyone??) to read the draft plan and provide comments in support of expanded mountain bike opportunities within Golden Ears Park.
If the mountain bike community stays too quiet with regard to this plan, expect lots more of where this came from (taken from the Horse Council of BC website):
Fabulous turnout at the open house on Jan.31st - thanks to everyone who was able to be there in person to voice their support!
Now that we've got their attention, it is time to SHARE YOUR WISH LIST for equestrian use at Golden Ears Park.
Fill out the online form at the BC Parks web site and list your ideas/needs in the "General Comments" section.
Here are some thoughts from other riders - if you like these ideas, please fill out the online form and let the park planners know, because NUMBERS COUNT!
- horse camping at Gold Creek
- horse camping at east side of lake
- another place for trailer parking deeper in the park
- sign in 'corral' parking that it is for horses only
- horse trail conditions updates on Park website
- provision for horse groups to do volunteer work in the park, e.g. work on campsites, build corrals, put in hitching posts
- expanded horse trails (variety, longer, more loops)
- tell BC Parks how you currently use the park as a rider
- tell BC Parks the ways you would like to use the park over the next 10 years:
