The new wordage is threatened. The former wordage was concerned specie.
I guess using the word threatened makes it more urgent to destroy anything in the path of the plover.

In the past concerned was used because the specie was increasing.

Looks like the park is a plover farm at the expense of any other specie

I'll be there...Last year it was very interesting.All kinds of people spoke during the open mike period.They ranged from grade school kids[7-8 yr olds] to Sierra Club,IFAW,hunters,and the elderly.Ironically the most silent group[pubilcally saying they represented the group] was the Mass Audobon.Not one of the directors[Wellfleet] or higher ups said one word.When there's any sort of meeting about ORV usage they're all there whining and spouting.

Mike, thanks for the heads up. The quote that I originally posted was directly from the CCNSS website. Also, from reading the Cape Cod Times article, I'm not 100% sure that there is no public comment at this meeting. However, the Cape Cod Times article does say that the meeting is not about ORV access which is under a "separate agreement." I've got a call in to the CCNSS folks and I'm going to try to get clarification because you are correct in that the CCNSS and Cape Cod Times have characterized this meeting very differently.

I'll let everyone know what I find out.

It's not about access DIRECTLY but...........It will have some effect DIRECTLY.If you don't go you won't know.
