Keep Pressing - Martha and John Lussenhop, Sisters

Dear Senator Westlund:

We are so grateful to you for proposing Senate Bill 30. Please do not yield to pressure to compromise the protection your bill offers. The Camp Sherman area is too precious a place to let any potential harm come to the Metolius and surrounding areas. Whenever visitors come to see us, I take them to the Metolius headwaters and to the Camp Sherman store and post office. They are so heartened to discover that a place like it still survives in this over-developed world. I have also taken students in the Wolftree program to do studies of the water chemistry and biology in the Metolius River. The kinds of organisms that survive there would not survive in waters less pristine. We encourage you to keep pressing on that bill as you wrote it.
