I'm not suggesting political corruption here; just extremely poor management by an agency that really ought to have higher standards for its conservation lands.Gatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866132637076615328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199095430931145843.post-74544790882640346062010-10-07T17:43:03.578-05:002010-10-07T17:43:03.578-05:00Happened across your blog and really appreciate yo...Happened across your blog and really appreciate you putting this information out there, very important to know and you are a good steward--thank you for what you do.<br /><br />Am curious about the politics behind this. Who makes up the board who decides to do these things? You mention the 27th district Rep., but is the state government involved in this?<br /><br />We run an environmental injustice site and go after the political corruption involved with environmental issues and this sounds as if it is something our readers would be interested in.<br /><br />More exposure equals more people talking and pressure on the decision makers.<br /><br />Like to hear from you.<br /><br />MaxMaxShelbyhttp://alabamacorruption.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199095430931145843.post-5195453579986213412010-09-24T16:11:32.520-05:002010-09-24T16:11:32.520-05:00Jennie: While I too have a problem with cutting t...Jennie: While I too have a problem with cutting trees for views, I won't begrudge them of user fees if it goes to responsible park maintenance. As for controlled fire, there's a place for that when done responsibly, especially in the pine-dominated forests at Oak Mountain and Gulf State Parks. Fire is a natural part of the landscape, and without it, many fire-adapted species, some already quite rare, would vanish. I'm on the steering committee of the Alabama Prescribed Fire Council.
