The Mt. Emily Recreation Coalition and Union County have scheduled
a public information meeting to discuss a recently
negotiated opportunity to pursue purchasing 3,669 acres in the Mt. Emily
area
The Blue Mountain Singletrack Club is currently working with Union County
Commissioners, the Oregon State Parks ATV Committee, and Forest Capital
Partners, LLC (of Boston, MA) to purchase the Mount Emily Recreation Area
(see maps
and study). The vast majority of Union County residents want Mt Emily
to be retained for public use forever, to not be clearcut or subdivided
and to be a producer or natural resources and public recreation--forever.
FCP and the Coalition have agreed to work together to ensure the Coalition's
goal for the property can be met
Please read the background docs, join

Our Mission . . . . .
The Blue Mountain Singletrack Trails Club, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
of La Grande Oregon, is dedicated to developing, maintaining, and enhancing
a network of environmentally sustainable trails in Northeast Oregon for
seasonal use by runners, hikers, x-country skiers, equestrians, and mountain
bicyclists. Our goal is to acquire the proposed Mt Emily Recreation Area
to ensure, for perpetuity, that it continues to be a producer of wildlife,
water, timber, and related natural resources, is a showcase of sustainable
resource conservation practices, and provides diverse opportunities for
public recreation.
Our Motto . . . . . Enjoy, but don't Destroy!
If the mud is sticking to your tires or your steed's hooves, please do
not ride on the singletrack trails . . . . . just delay and come back another
day when the mud has had a chance to dry — or restrict your ride to
the rock-surfaced roads.
