Mt Rogers remains an off-leash area for dogs!
Our submissions objecting to that proposal have been accepted. .....
'Although there are issues around ensuring that we don’t affect bird populations and particularly their breeding, in the case of Mount Rogers a review of the evidence has determined there is not enough grounds to support the current proposal.
As such, the proposal for Mount Rogers to be on-leash will be withdrawn.'

That is the main point in the most recent message (25 July 2014) from Helen Gombar-Millynn about whether dogs should be on or off leash on Mt Rogers.
This result shows a win for common sense, well reasoned articles, passionate submissions and enormous community strength-of-purpose and togetherness.
CONGRATULATIONS to you all. Thank you for the huge cost of time, brain-power, organising skills you have given to this cause.
WE'RE AN AMAZING COMMUNITY & LANDCARE GROUP!!
