<br />
<br />SCHWEITZER: No, we are not.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Okay, so you are not accepting any members of the public to use the facility and/or the
<br />property.
<br />
<br />SCHWEITZER: We actually do have people help on the land once in a while, like he said, Charles,
<br />he is a land manager. So we have people quietly help with some of the land’s management,
<br />farming; in that sense, yes, we do allow community members.
