MY TURN: Camp Easton, Safety first

by MIKE AAGESEN/Guest Opinion

First and foremost, Camp Easton is a privately owned property that can be done with at the discretion of the owners, which just happens to be the Inland Northwest Council of the Boy Scouts of America. While stunning, it is not there solely for anyone’s personal viewing pleasure. This is not the National Forest but a functioning operating Camp that earns revenue from the youth that attend it!

That being said, and having served as the Camp Easton chairman for many years in the past, the local Council has always maintained a Conservation and Forestry plan specific to all their Camps. These of course are prepared and maintained by accredited foresters with both short term and long-term plans. To suggest otherwise is insulting and to be honest infuriating.
