Has anyone heard about this? A friend of mine was wondering why there are no signs on the posts along the trails on the island, so she started digging. This is the message she sent me today...
"Doug Habermann, Region 5 and acting Region 7 Parks Manager took down the signs......and there are plans in the works to close Pirogue Island. This is being done in a VERY hush-hush manner!!!! And....Habermann has used the Hell Creek issue to draw the public's attention and the media's attention away from Pirogue. Habermann has tried to shift the control over Pirogue to the Fisheries Division for a Fishing Access Site - since there is not access by vehicles and a location for a boat ramp, Fisheries doesn't want it."
