Treat our Alberta headwaters like the treasures they are (2nd notice)

Bow River Shuttles writes: "We first reported on this petition on March 26. The petition organizers noted that special interest groups with a stake in business-as-usual want to ensure the upcoming South Saskatchewan regional land use plan contains no limits on off-road abuse, increases clear cut logging, and promotes more development.

An April 01 Calgary Herald article "Southern Alberta land-use plan raises ire of off-road users" (read article here http://bit.ly/16rnQHe) confirms that the 'business-as-usual' group have a petition of their own on the go that has over 8,000 signatures."

"For anyone interested in the headwaters of the South Saskatchewan River please click on the link below for information on a petition requesting that source water protection be the primary goal for the eastern slopes in the land use framework's regional plan for southern Alberta.

The regional plan will be released for final public consultation shortly. At this point, the Alberta government is currently considering many different competing options. If you think headwaters protection should be a priority, have your voice heard."
