Guys, thanks but I am only one of many working on this issue, many deserve credit and any accoladdes and thanks for all the work should go straight to the MBBA as a whole.

They also already have to programs to assist in "training" pro ORV volunteers in the needed areas
I know what MBBA's position is on co-existence. USF&W has already made theirs clear (reference the first bold highlight). I can imagine what Mass. Audobon will put forth.Beleive it or not, the Access committee members that met with a group of "pro bird" reps reported that MA Audobon was very interested in the coexistance approach and appeas to be willing to assist. Truth is, without getting them involved, there is no hope of improvement.
IMO you couldn't have picked a worse group to "train" monitors in how to route buggies around plover nests.
But I do agree with paying to play. The guys who bitch the loudest will never pony up the bucks to join MBBA or UMS or any other OSV user group.
