2011 legislative needs
Elkaholic daWg:
• Provisions that would allow WDFW and DNR to jointly enforce land use regulations, and would allow the agencies to seek restitution from those who damage state lands.
I have an idea after returning from my elk trip to the colockum.
The US forest circus hasn't logged any thing in washington in about 30 years, but they still sell Christmas tree permits. all their trees are now over the limit they say you can cut. Since the state has been clear cutting up there ever since the colockum is FULL of beautiful 5' to 15' noble,and alpine firs.
And TOO MANY of them. pay to thin them, or make money to thin them. NAW....makes too much sense!
They won't be easy to get to in December, but I bet many would buy permits, especially sledders which love the area.
Since the DFW has traded most of their higher elevation forests with DNR for lower shrub/steppe, maybe DFW could sell shrub permits.
• An "Explore Washington Pass" for access to WDFW and DNR lands. This pass would replace WDFW's current annual vehicle-use permit. Under the proposal, annual lands access pass would be $40 for general users age 19 and older, or $5 for those purchasing fishing or hunting licenses or a watchable-wildlife package. Short-term passes would be available at $20 for a three-day pass; $15 for a two-day pass; and $10 for a one-day pass. The passes would be sold through WDFW's existing WILD recreational licensing system. Revenue from the new pass, estimated at $5.5 million annually, would be split between WDFW and DNR for land management capital, operational, maintenance and enforcement needs.
Seems this one might require some enforcement personnell
