In a letter dated Jan. 7, the commissioner of the N.H. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, declined a request from members of the public to schedule a meeting of the Nash Stream Citizens’ Committee, relevant agencies, and the public, to discuss the ATV problem in Nash Stream State Forest. Commissioner Sarah Stewart’s letter contains a number of misrepresentations and misunderstandings but its biggest disappointment is its failure to acknowledge the foundational promise that established Nash Stream Forest.

In the 1989 Nash Stream Forest Easement Deed, the State of New Hampshire reserved the right to preserve and manage certain specific uses in the Nash Stream Forest.

Kris, if the easement terms are this simple and clear, why don't the big environmental organizations go to court and get an injunction against ATV use? There must be some complexities that aren't coming through in this op-ed???
