DCC Comments on Proposal to Rehabilitate 7 Mile Pit on the Park Road

September 7, 2015 Nancy

The presence of wolves in a den near Mile 7 may complicate the rehabilitation project somewhat. In addition, we made suggestions regarding how to ensure that once rehabilitated this pit would be successfully re-designated wilderness.
