Dear Ashley, My name is Bobby and I am an aide to Senator Ranker. Thank you for contacting us in support of funding for Blanchard State Forest. Senator Ranker supports outdoor recreation and the conservation of our natural resources. Blanchard State Forest is an iconic part of the 40th legislative district and personally, the view from Oyster Dome is one of my favorites. I will be sure to pass along your comments to Senator Ranker for him to consider during budget negotiations. I know that outdoor recreation and conservation is a top priority of the Senator's. Thank you for getting in touch with us. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Best wishes, Bobby
