Purchase may be needed to protect Trestle Creek

It can be very expensive to do unwise things. Especially when doing so goes against the strong advice of science and the demonstrated will of the people.

So let us save Idaho Club and Valiant LLC lots of money and BUY the Trestle Creek property. By "us" I mean we the people of this area; the same folks who saved Pine Street Woods, the Sled Hill, the Panida and so much more. I propose a cooperative community effort involving Kaniksu Land Trust, the Tribes, and any groups or agencies involved with critical habitat conservation. 

Let the developers name the asking price and we negotiate. Let them also consider the tax deduction possibilities. Let's do this.
