Beware of changes to new comprehensive plan
Property owners in Boundary County should be wary of wide-ranging changes in the new comprehensive plan. Although touted as protecting the county's rural lifestyle, the latest version of the plan, for the first time, allows commercial and industrial mining, gravel pit and rock quarrying operations as conditional or special uses in five rural zone districts. No standards or limitations are imposed on these highly intensive activities to protect adjacent properties or the environment.

Public must decide if lands should be actively managed
Wood, every human on this earth uses it. From primitive warming fires, spears, bows and arrows to wood-based high tech composites, ethanol and biodiesel, wood is used in more products than most people realize. Thank God wood is a renewable resource. Trees can get along fine without humans, but humans can't survive without trees.
