Kanipe Ranch Planning Day

I expect that most people would want public lands to be managed in way similar to how they manage their home property. If things are broken, fix them, and if their not broken, ignore them. We may want our managers to keep the grounds up a little better than we ourselves do at home, although my neighbors do intensive land management on their place, while i'm a hands off type of guy. One of the century farms in the Oakland area is now a county park, with a mandate to pay for itself with proceeds from low scale timeber harvest. This was a homestead, now it will hopefully turn into a working turn of the 20th century agriculture museum and learning center. There is a one-room schoolhouse about a mile away from the main activity center and equestrian trails that lead about the property. One of the plans is to set up a geocache. So if you need a summer project in rural oregon, tap in and we can put you to work (and play).
