Reflection/Evaluation
Excellent program. We are all encouraged to continue to encourage our legislators to stop this atrocity. AZ Broads Roz, Kathy (in Scoping), and Jenny have commented in the NEPA process from the beginning.
Roz and Jenny stopped at Oak Flat in November just in case it is ruined – climbed on boulders, enjoyed the spectacular views and stately oak trees.
