We feel we should share a notice given to one of our members on Jan. 10th.
Our
member was given notice by a US Forest Service Employee from the
Umatilla National Forest, she took the time to introduce herself as a
USFS employee and give her professional title, that anyone found with
one of these decals in their window would be stopped by Law Enforcement
and cited for displaying the decal and that the USFS was also looking
for the company that printed the decals to prosecute them.
Also,
ya there's an also. That the USFS was preparing to prosecute FAFA for
lying and misrepresenting fact on our facebook page on the matters
regarding the US Forest Service's plan to restrict motorized access in
Eastern Oregon.
We
are confused by the USFS using a single employee to give legal notice
to our organization thru a random member during a training exercise
outside normal work hours for a USFS employee.
We
would ask that anyone approached with similar concerns by USFS Staff
please contact FAFA at keepitopen@forestaccessforall.com or write us
here so that we can make sure we account for these notifications of
intent to prosecute and address the issue properly instead of individual
notifications to our members.
We
have submitted a letter to Washington DC today asking the Department
& Agency to address the issue and the staff member that gave notice,
as we are concerned this is another issue of Region 6 staff harassing
and intimating members, instead of an officially sanctioned USFS
notification.
Please share so all members are given notice.
