Crazy Mountains March Public Meeting

Meeting Video, Trail Video Tours

and Documentation

Will the Historical Crazy Mountain Trail System Survive Another Generation?

More importantly, will Trail #267 survive the next year?

On March 13, 2018, Friends of the Crazy Mountains (FOCM) and

Enhancing Montana's Wildlife & Habitat (EMWH) hosted a public meeting to share

information with the public, which we feel has been missing in this process thus far. There were

about 80-90 people in attendance, some seated and some standing in the back

(Sign in sheets - some guests or spouses did not sign in).

Below is the meeting agenda and the links to the meeting video, Trail video tours, documentation and Public Comment Talking Points (large print below) provided at the meeting, for those who could not make it.

After reviewing, please take time to submit a public comment on this historic trail

obliteration and relocation proposal to the Forest Service. We need the proper and legal NEPA process, not this lacking categorical exclusion the FS has stated. This non- motorized proposal would give away not only motorized access, any historic prescriptive easement rights, but also ignores our deeded easements and right-of-ways.

Comment deadline is March 31, 2018
