WA State meeting with DNR re: Larch Mt.

[Cogs]

This will be the 2nd to last meeting before the big Pick-Up The Burn project in May. We will discuss how NWFA can be more involved in this and other efforts in the State DNR Larch Mt. area.

I could sure use another set of eyes, ears and an extra brain! Let me know if you can attend.

WA. Dept. of Natural Resources holds meetings every other month called TAG (Trail Advisory Group). This group is comprised of several representatives of various outdoor recreational groups around Clark County, WA. Those represented are hikers, horse riders, bicyclists, motorcycle riders, ATV's and 4 wheelers. NWFA is the only fire arms community represented at these meetings.

It is at these TAG meetings where discussions, plans and proposals are made regarding the recreational use of our local State lands. The issues often directly impact the future of recreational target shooting and hunting.

A CHANGE IN MEETING TIME AND LOCATION!

The February 5th Trail Advisory Group Meeting. REMINDER: The meeting starts @ 6pm and will be at the Dollars Corner Fire Station #26. 21609 NE 72nd Ave, Battle Ground, WA. 98604-5228

The TAG meeting, on Feb 5th, went well. I secured a booth space, at the Pick-up the Burn, and we will be distributing information about NWFA, Ethics & Rules of Target Shooting in the forest and Tips for the Target Shooter. We will be getting lots of public exposure and want to do our best to make a positive impact. (Typically, about 75 - 100 people volunteer and news media coverage).

This is in Washington State Yacolt Burn State Forest at Larch Mt. We are partnering with WA. Dept. of Natural Resources and 10 other recreational groups which include hiking, biking, equestrian and motorized, to show our support and celebrate enduring stewardship by cleaning up the Yacolt Burn State Forest, all in one day.

I'll be posting more about this project, in a new thread as we get closer, and we'll make this a regular clean up event.

Hi Mark,

The TAG meetings are held from 6 pm to 8 pm, on the first Thursday, every other month. So, last one was April, next one will be first Thursday in June (the 4th). Here's a link to the thread that may describe it better.

I guess everyone knows by now. The rock pile up on Larch has a ditch and boulders along the road now and is unusable.

 

[Cogs]

Yeah, they don't like us shooting there. I haven't been up there since May and it had the ditch and rocks there at that time. Still, people shoot there anyway.

 

[edslhead]

That's not the best place to shoot but you hate to loose any.

 

[Jonnyboy0307]

Are they allowing ppl to shoot up their right now I'm trying to go shooting tomorrow but just heard it's closed up their

I have been shooting on the Bear Prairie side and the last time I talked to the DNR cop he said you could shoot up there the just put the boulders there to try and cut down on the trash.
