OK on our front page in angling news there is an article concerning the SRC. The following are cut from the piece and pasted for your review.
>>>>>
In the 1970s, I noticed two major changes in the landscape along my favorite trout streams in Pennsylvania - developments and subdivisions, and "No Trespassing" signs.
I decided to approach the acquisition of blue ribbon trout streams as a full-time business.
My idea was to conserve an ever-expanding portfolio of gold-medal trout streams across Pennsylvania.
We constantly compete against developers who can build 300 retirement condos along a mile-long stretch of trout stream and charge a premium because of the location.
We are teaching our kids and grandkids to be wise stewards of our natural resources and to stand in the gap against the onslaught of development.
>>>>>>
So in his first sentence he says that one of the largest problems today is no posted signs..... Then he figgured out how to turn his problem into a full time buisness!!!
Oh, and by the way I must have missed the 300 retirment condos going up in Coburn!!! Yes development is out of control but the areas he is procuring are hardly in danger of being bulldozed for the next resort.
What he is teaching "our kids and grandkids" is not conservation. At best it is bioengineering, and at worst it is eliteism.
Of all the hungry bears in the woods....you'd think we'd catch a break. :-o
