For Sale By Owners?
Did you know that you are selling forest land in North Carolina? If you’re an American Citizen then your part of the ownership group that is selling chunks of national forest. President Bush attempted to sell off about 10,000 acres of NC Forest land last year that fell through after much opposition so this year they scaled it down and are trying it again. This years proposal calls for putting up 5,685 acres of National Forest Land in North Carolina as well as many acres of land across the country.
I see little reason for selling off land chance are this is land that will just be developed and lost forever. National Forests are renewable natural resources and in my opinion should be managed as such. As outdoors men this land provides access for us to hunt & fish private ownership will certainly eliminate those opportunities. Congressman Hayes led the opposition last year in Washington so please contact him and let him know what your thoughts are about selling off our national forestland.
If they succeed at selling off the 5,600 this year, they’ll want half of that to be sold in a few years too. I’ll be sending out my opinions to the appropriate people.
