Thank you all for the many varied and divergent opinions on the dog =
areas in the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, and the discussion =
it's generated and led into. Although the discussion has been heated =
at times, many different points of view have been made.
I don't have much new to add, but just wanted to say that it sounds at =
least like the FPDCC (both the Commissioners and Supt. Bylina) will get =
many letters, phone calls and e-mails on the subject(s) from all of the =
various environmental and bird groups, and from many individuals on the =
subject (and the various issues that the dog area discussion has led to) =
and that will at least let them know that many are interested in these =
areas.
Probably all of the separate groups that make up BCN, as well as a =
number of other environmental and/or outdoor groups, will write the =
commissioners and Supt. Bylina with the resolutions or opinions that =
their boards (or conservation committees or what have you) have agreed =
upon for their own group. Many individuals will write from their own =
viewpoints.
And when BCN has their meeting, all the various groups will most likely =
agree on SOMETHING to send in, that they all can agree on. It may be =
the proposal that COS has generated, or might be an adaptation of it, =
or it might be completely different that all can agree upon. When =
everyone who is entitled to come to that meeting gets together and talks =
in person, I'm sure something will be acceptable. It probably will =
also be helpful to have many other people attending who aren't a =
subscriber to BCNnet, and aren't as "involved" in the more heated =
aspects of the debate that we've seen lately, so can offer fresh =
perspective.
But again, the BCN is the sum of its 'parts', and those 'parts' will =
write their own letters/resolution and the BCN will come up with another =
one that all can agree on.
In any case, there will be many letters generated overall to those =
involved in ultimate decision-making (whether policical or management), =
and as Randi has pointed out, this is pretty important in its own right.
Thanks for all of your input. It's been heated at times, and although =
it might only made a few changes in each of our personal views, it still =
has been informative to see where we are all coming from.
One thing for sure, we all are interested in the use of our (overall) =
limited forest preserve acreage!
Good birding,
