Possibly having to limit access? <br />In other places, people got together, purchased the lands & put it in a trust to assure perpetuity. <br />Maybe that can happen here - either privately, in partnerships, or by the State. <br />Maybe we can set up a lending bank/loan fund to be accessed by the people who work the land & <br />want to buy from Bishop Museum (the land they already steward). <br />Leave decision up to the people of the valley <br />County and/or State should fund the portable toilets by the beach and located on K.S.
