I support the Mad Rabbit Trail proposal and would vote yes on the 2A funding for the trail build-out. The revised plan has been scaled back from the October proposal and the Forest Service’s environmental analysis states that there will be no significant impact on the area. In fact, removal of user created trails will actually improve the elk habitat. Seasonal closures will also help protect the Elk calving season and we should pay special attention to minimizing that impact during trail construction.
