Public/Private Partnerships

Mike explains a little about the history of private public partnerships to resolve user conflicts in the past. At one time, here in the Taylor Fork Drainage, an access dispute on a highly utilized public trail across private land threatened recreational users. While the owners of the Nine Quarter Circle (private land owner) could have easily closed out the public an agreement between the private land owners, Forest Service and user groups created a compromise that maintained recreational trail access for the people of the valley.
