How You Can Make A Difference |
You ever think that
anything you join really has an impact on the things that you
care about? Well joining Stewards of the Sequoia does!!!
Why you ask? What does my membership
do?
It does two very important things.
First, it provides the
financial resources for Stewards of the Sequoia to be a stakeholder in land use planning and educate policymakers about Multiple Use, recreation for everyone, supporting local economies and helping improve and protect the environment.
Your support helps Stewards maintain Stakeholder status to ensure that recreation is not marginalized in Forest and BLM Planning.
Everyone from the
Rock Climbers, Hunters & Fisherman using SUV’s & ATV’s, Horse
Riders using their SUV/trailer to access riding areas, Trail
Bike riders & 4WD enthusiasts, Mountain Bikers in their SUV, to
the Sunday family SUV adventurer that comes out for a nature
drive, are part of the Multiple Use community. We all use roads and vehicles on public lands. That is who we are, a
diverse group of outdoor recreationists, who wish to share the
roads and trails with everyone.
-
We provide funding through user pay programs like the Green Sticker fund to maintain trails, provide enforcement and do environmental work.
-
We are the ones volunteering to maintain the roads and trails so they can continue to be enjoyed by everyone.
-
We volunteer in self patrolling areas for people to educate people on how to be good stewards of their public lands, so those areas are available for our kids to enjoy in the future.
-
It is not the radical environmentalists out there doing this, but members of the Multiple Use Community.
Second, by being a part of a group that represents Multiple
Use
recreation, you provide us with the political leverage that
we will need to impress upon our local, state and federal
officials, the width and range of the Multiple Use Community. They need
to understand we want continued access to our public lands
and are organizing to make our voice heard.
We are the moderates and we are the majority in California and
probably the nation.
Nations, buildings, and organizations are begun with just one
person starting the process and you are that one person. Take
the time to really evaluate what is important to you and realize
that being part of Stewards of the Sequoia will make a
difference in Sequoia National Forest keeping the public lands
open for all. Stewards also reaches out to other areas in
California as well as elsewhere, to help keep them open.
Supporting other areas & those areas supporting us greatly
enhances our abilities to keep our trails open everywhere. This
forest, state & nation are big enough for us all to enjoy the
great recreation opportunities, and we are the grass roots
organization that starts with you. Your support will make the
difference. As always your donations go directly to keeping
trails open. We have no paid staff. All our efforts are
volunteered.
Thanks for all you do, enjoy our
great outdoors and all its natural wonders, and join Stewards of
the Sequoia to ensure you have a say in the lands that you and all the
public owns.
