The Husted Ranch is some of The National Forest's best land in the region. If this exchange goes through it will be lost to development. Im sure this will have a major negative impact on wildlife with unforeseen consequences. I grew up hiking this land and Have always dreamt of bringing my children here someday. Many of the Estes locals enjoy this land. Now one of the Forest Service's best assets, the local wildlife, the peoples' recreation, and one of my long held dreams are threatened. All this for some scattered parcels that have no value. DO NOT LET THIS EXCHANGE GO THROUGH!
