Also Check Out Regional DNR Meetings:
I met recently with Randy Acker, the head of the South Puget Sound DNR regional office. He told me these meetings are going to be informal and a an opportunity to discuss recreational use on DNR land. I have also shot a video interview with Randy. I will have that up soon. Get out and tell them what you want. Be Clear, Concise and think of all the user types. In Randy’s words they want partners, not simply users.
