The rally on Saturday, February 5 at Whitehorse Park in Grants Pass had a turnout of at least 50 people concerned about the Josephine County proposal to cut down over 300 mature, healthy trees to pave an area for RV hook-ups.
There will be a public hearing tomorrow night, February 7, at 6:00 pm at Anne Basker Auditorium in Grants Pass. If you are concerned about the fate of these trees, and the effect of their removal on the rest of the park ecosystem, please attend this meeting, either in person or remotely, or send your written comments in advance.

Great to see a bunch of wonderful SRV people yesterday! Thank you so much for sending this blog post out.
I do have one concern: With 20 RV sites slated (bad enough), will there really be 75 hookups? If you count each individual hookup for electricity, water and sewage (don’t know if that’s even slated) that would only be 60—but I think folks will see this and think 75 RV sites—yikes! Just want to make sure we are not sending out incorrect information.
Cheers, Carol

Hi, Carol, thanks for catching that! I’m not sure how I got the number 75. That was an error, and I did remove it. Great rally yesterday. I am working on my letter to the County Commissioners this afternoon. -Dorothy
