The abstract of the legislation creating a Moscow Mountain State Park 
and a resolution expressing the interest of the Legislature in 
protecting the cedars is below including links to the full text. 
Sometime in the next month there will be a hearing on both in the 
Senate Resources and Environment Committee. Members of the committee 
may be contacted by email, regular mail, phone or fax. Contact info 
may be found at the link below by choosing "Senate Resources and 
Environment".

Additionally, the Land Board heard a report from staff at their 
monthly meeting yesterday. Winston Wiggins, IDL director, committed 
the energy of his department to find a solution.  The Governor called 
it a "very special place."  Wiggins called it a "treasure."
