Since an important ACA motto is something like "educate, don't regulate" I doubt advocacy will be dropped. My view is that conservation is only tangential to paddling so dropping that may put my membership dues to better use. I hope it happens. Steve Brown -----Original Message----- Paddlers: This past weekend, at dinner with some environmental group friends, I was shocked to learn that the ACA (American Canoe Association) has dismantled its conservation programs and basically abandoned its conservation work altogether......... and its defense of access rights for self-guided paddlers......They want ACA to be primarily a boating education organization. ...........
