I think the one they are closing comes out near Sebringville, and heads north, but I may be mistaken. -
I'm guessing like many you - (A) either don't check the privacy act box when you buy your permit to receive e mail news letters from the OFSC (B) haven't been receiving then but also haven't followed up (C) just don't read them These things are well covered .... -
Sorry, another post! With the other one, and one above, what I am trying to say is if the OFSC in their call to arms for volunteer help/support etc, could put in their press release - Last year, due to downturn in volunteers - $$$ of money was spent where had their been volunteer support/help - it could have been put to other expenses. I am trying to understand what value is brought if I volunteer or don't. If I don't buy a permit - I know I don't add X to the system If I do, or don't volunteer - what VALUE does that add or subtract from the system? That's where I was going with that -
The org was built on volunteers, it made it through darker times then this over the past almost 60 years. All achieved by riders who wanted trails bad enough to do something about it. Currently there is over 6000 volunteers from all walks of life, some CEO's of Fortune 500 companies, some are just ditch diggers. Staff is ever evolving and people in volunteer the OFSC's leadership rolls are no slouches to hiring qualified staff to lobby and handle day to day business for the org. Lots of people speaking as if the OFSC should be running like a top right now, even after several low snow seasons, covid, 52% increase in costs across the board, an ever growing recession and now Trumps tariffs. Hell I'm surprised no has blamed the OFSC for Yamaha bailing on sledding yet LMFAO Edit: 15 pages in this thread and I don't think there's one single reply saying - "I'm going out to trail work this weekend and club meeting next week to see if I can help"

Helpful in understanding, thank you. I think we're talking a little bit about different things too. I was just trying to ask if we have a general idea on the cost difference between projects where outside workers or equipment were hired/used because volunteers were not available, so those not volunteering could have a better sense of how much permit money is being allocated to those types of things because of a lack of volunteers ( us not helping ). My point was, maybe if people had a better handle on that, perhaps it would help push them off the couch. Just for clarity, and only speaking for myself, I don't have any issue/concern/trust etc. about how the dollars are being spent. I never have, and I don't now. Anytime I have ever had the pleasure to get out and ride, I can see it with my own eyes. I don't for a second believe anyone is doing anything but what they can for the rest of us.
