Show blessings of the agencies themselves. : Finally the small family ranchers and farmers, on farms and property inherited from generations of family before them, ought to be paid by the government to retire a permit NORMA NUNN if it is required or desired to do so. The environmental community could also divvy up some money to support the cause. : Of course there are some areas that are so sensitive from an ecological standpoint that cattle should never be allowed. Just as there are places that humans should never be allowed. If a ranchers fail to work to keep the ranges in good shape, in cooperation with (w) 435.259.5021 (h) 435.253.7275 the managing land agencies, this would be their choice, and they would need then to take the consequence. One of the largest problems today is that we have too many people in our beloved At Quality Realty * 505 country. And many of those people desire to visit our canyons. But in so doing, they bring their impacts. Years ago, Hardy Redd voluntarily retired his cattle from Grand Gulch. But the irony is that the impact of his cattle on the land was nothing like the thousands of persons now flooding the canyon. Cedar Mesa didn't have some 40 outfitters bringing more and more people to the area. The tragedy of this is that we've traded the cattle impacts for people impacts. If we're. really to be consistent shall we not also keep the hordes of people off the land as well as cows? : . ER 2. N.

No people, no cows, no horses, no scientists, no’ guides, no boy scouts, no environmentalists, no politicians-- no one. Leave it to the Gods, the wilds, and the wildlife. Just leave it alone! Thousands of at the very least carrying capacity the presence, the persons now tramp over areas where cows once wandered. What we need is.a new allotment management plan for the hikers and campers— a study as was done for cattle. Hikers will rue the day that they despised look, the smell or the moo of a cow. The presence of shoulder-to-shoulder mass of people and their own excrement is surely worse. This is not the way it's supposed to be, but it's the way it turned out. This is the end ofa great era. Instead of singing this land is our land, we can only wail that this land was our land. Maybe something good will sprout from the evil of all of this, but I doubt it. So here's to my rancher kin and friends. I lift a cup ‘to toast you in holding this great land together for us so that it wouldn't be cut up like the rest of the country. And a toast to you Booth Wallentine for reminding me of my roots and my heritage. Time will tell whether any of our other fragments have sprouted.
