Wind River Closure Update

[Saph]

The transcripts from a recent meeting between the US Forest Service and Objectors to the Shoshone National Forest (WY) Plan, from the Pack Goat Community, (including Napga) have been published. As many of you know, the Shoshone Forest is the first, but certainly not the last, to close vast areas of public lands to pack goat use, due to their concerns with possible risk of disease transmission between domestic sheep and goats, and wild Bighorn Sheep. If you read the transcript, you will have an idea of what we Goat Packers are up against, and what we face in the future as more and more public lands are proposing to limit pack goat use--Saph

If you scroll down through the transcript, the Pack Goat Closure Objection issue transcript discussion is from Pages 24-65.
