Jessup River Wild Forest UMP 2010 Amendment
The recently issued amendment 2010 draft amendment to the 2005/2006 Jessup River Wild Forest Unit Management Plan has a number of signifigant negative changes. NYSSA is very concerned that the are trail closures that are unnecessary under the guidelines and as a result will isolate users and businesses who have historically had access to the trail system. The amendment should have leveraged the Class I Trail guidelines to preserve access by residents, visitors and businesses.
Your calls, e-mails, and letters are needed to preserve trail access to all snowmobilers.
If you utitlize the example letter, it is critical that you personalize, edit and add your own comments on this matter for your letter to count.

Well, a day of rain, but at least the cold and snows have returned a day later.

First let me apologize for not sending out an update for the last few weeks but things got very hectic w/ the holiday weekend grooming and all of the news regarding the JRWF UMP. This past weekend the trails were groomed almost nonstop but the warm temperatures and high volume of sleds took their toll. A few inches of new snow has arrived and at this point any new snow is a welcome sight. We will continue to groom and keep the trails as smooth as possible.
This past month John Nilsen has taken over Trail Boss duties for the Speculator Tree Farm and will maintain the BR-60+ groomer. John is a long time Speculator resident and he spent many hours back in the day riding the old Speculator Trail System so his knowledge of the tree farm is ideal. We thank John for taking on this role and helping us make the trail system the best it can be.
Hopefully snow and cold temps are in the forecast so we can get the trails back into excellent condition.
Thanks
Bob C.
