Rutting O Where did the skidder go? O Recommend that COF O Request research be done on the ecological effects of rutting.
Prescriptions O It s winter, why is it raining? O Recommend that COF O Request DNR review and revise manuals/guidelines to allow less date restrictive and more condition dependent prescriptions. O Follow this up with education.
