I'm all for saving animals whether it be birds, turtles, or some other animal, but, to close down large chunks of land to any kind of traffic to save them is ridiculous. All over the country this kind of thing is happening when I lived in South Dakota people were bitching about the OHV community and that all the trails needed to be closed because of some rare moss that grows in one tiny area. I was part of the "South Dakota Off Highway Vehicle Coalition" (SDOHVC) and we went to all kinds of meetings where it was Wheelers against tree huger and we were in constant battle with what seemed like everyone. Is there a similar organization for NC?
