- Communications between groups needs to be improved.
- Visitors most frequent questions are about trails and their
locations. This information is in the newspaper distributed via
the Fee Station. I suggest that the Fee folks take a few seconds
to let visitors know that trail information and maps are in the
newspaper.
- What can I say; you are all great to give of your time.
- Must deal with development encroachment and increasing use
and impact on the RRC environment. BLM must show leadership!
- Since visitors are so important, we should have
handouts available describing the major hikes and a simplified
map of the area. Budget problems should not keep us from serving
the visitors to Red Rock Canyon.
- Would like to see specific exhibit and information about how
the Paiutes lived in RRC.
- The very favorable image of FORRC does not; unfortunately
extend to some activities of the BLM, widely suspect in the eyes
of the public regarding wildlife and environmental protection.
- FORRC and BLM need to do some very serious “advance thinking”
on ho to limit or control visitor inundation in the future.
Example: thousands of homes coming on W. Charleston. It would be
tragic to end up like Central Park.
- Each year during Red Rock Day we sign up many people willing
to volunteer on a regular basis. Most are not heard from again.
We need a mechanism for follow up contact. Can this be explored?
- Friends of Red Rock is a well organized group of
extraordinary people who are devoting themselves to the purpose
of keeping Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area a great place to
visit.
- Provide an informational audio tape or CD for visitors to use
in cars as they travel the loop drive.
- The “Friends” area a vehicle to help “Save” Red Rock. Keep it
simple! We love Red Rock, there is no other.
- Stop any developer growth within the Red Rock Canyon
Conservation Area including the Spring Mountain Range.
- Bring back the wild horses and burros
- My main comment is that I’m sure glad Friends exists to help
protect the canyon. Thanks for letting us help you!
- More public awareness of Friends role at Red Rock Canyon
- Very endearing group – easy to fill welcome
- Nice work!
- I have often wondered about different facts that are not
always printed on interpretive signs, i.e. perhaps a tree or
plant is labeled with a sign but no other information is provided
such as age of plant, water needs, where it came from, etc.
- Why didn’t I join when I was a tourist?
- Not really a FORRC question but noticed that in Aspen they
have a sign-in registration sheet at trail heads. Good idea! Also
they have a hiking license which cost $3 per year which helps
cover the cost of rescues if one needs to be rescued and has a
license there is no cost for the rescue.
- Awards banquet dinner held in October: hold in more central
area like Big Dogs in 2000 and 2001 and not in the NW part of
town in 2002. Without a car it was near to impossible to get to
so I did not go.
- Additional Law Enforcement Rangers on site and visible are
critical, especially during the peak usage season.
- We love you!
- Let us know what’s being planned so we can get involved. It
would help to list the events and projects coming up.
- I enjoy volunteering at Red Rock and wish I could give more
time. I’m grateful for this opportunity in my life.
- Re-landscape the tortoise habitat to make it more appealing.
- I feel I can pass along any suggestions I have…..
- Our efforts toward maintaining a healthy and robust native
plant population will require additional equipment procurement.
Water sources need to be closer to the area where regular
watering is required.
- Since I can’t drive at night anymore, I’d love it if all the
meetings and the banquet would be held during the day.
- I think we are doing a fantastic job. It would be nice if
more then a handful were active volunteers.
- There is a need to develop a couple of friendly trails such
as a boardwalk or paved trail at Sandstone Quarry or maybe part
of Children’s Discovery Trail. This would help the handicapped,
elderly or people with inadequate foot ware.
- Friends are doing fine but BLM management need to be more
aggressive in acquiring private land within boundaries and
critical adjacent lands such as the former James Hardie Mine.
