Comments from Members

- Keep up the good work. Respect the action of those who gave up land under policy of eminent domain. . .

- Educate the children while they are young - encourage hikes, work days, etc.

- Stay focused on primary goal of protecting our park.

- It is so important to keep access to the State Park affordable to local people. This is not happening. Mount Sunapee for the affluent is in no one's interest.

- Keep the Mt. Sunapee buffer zone intact. Discourage development that mars our mountain sides (and tops). Encourage zoning that makes best conservation use of land - leaving corridors open.

- The low-intensity recreation (e.g. hiking) and ecological protection should take precedence over ski area development and management, at Mt. Sunapee State Park and elsewhere, and you provide effective advocacy f or that good.

- Get back N.H. Seniors’ rights to free skiing at Mt. Sunapee. We are the landlords not the tenants.

- Work to safeguard protected public lands from environmentally damaging uses, commercialization and privatization.
