Vote "YES" for the proposed on-leash recommendation in the Boise foothills!

The Working Group of the Foothills Conservation Advisory Committee plans to propose to the entire Foothills Conservation Advisory Committee to make all lower and mid level trails in the Boise Foothills to be on-leash areas for dogs.  This would include all the trails in Hulls Gulch, Military Reserve, Bogus Basin, etc and leave on the upper level trails, or every trail accessible within 5 miles of downtown Boise, on-leash only.   The FCAC will meet on May 7, 2008 at 7:30am at the Foothills Learning Center to discuss this issue.

We feel that this is a reasonable recommendation, that is a safe and sane way to keep dogs, children, and other users, of the trail safe. Also, with on-leash laws, people will retain more control of their pets and their accompanying bad habits, EI: digging holes, killing local wildlife like song birds and chipmunks, and deficating where ever they please, without being cleaned up after.

We, the undersigned, believe that the Working Group's recommendation is just, sane, and warrented, and respectfully request that the Foothills Conservation Advisory Committee pushes ahead with this recommendation, and presents it to the Mayor and City Council of Boise, Idaho, in it full entirety.
