It’s crunch time for the Skinners Falls Bridge and the proposed Camp FIMFO, but especially for the bridge, which PennDOT intends to demolish asap. DCS, in conjunction with Wrought Iron Bridge Works, has presented a cost effective plan to save the bridge. Now is the time for all who want to save the bridge, and stop Camp FIMFO, to contact your political representatives and tell them how you feel.

DCS recommends calling, emailing and/or writing your state representatives, your governor and the National Park Service. If they have a Facebook page that accepts messages, this is another good option.

DCS has a simple message regarding the Skinners Falls Bridge: RESTORE the Skinners Falls Bridge, it can be done. Do NOT destroy it. The plan presented by DCS is safe, cost effective, non-destructive and can be implemented in phases. It will save public money in the long run, retain tourism, reduce environmental/archeological/historic impact, ensure that river communities remain connected, and that the valuable historic resource of the Skinners Falls Bridge remains for future generations.

DCS also has a simple message regarding the proposed Camp FIMFO: Theme Parks Don’t Belong on the Upper Delaware River. Camp FIMFO risks our water, environment and community safety. It is out of character with the Upper Delaware National Scenic River Corridor, and it does not comply with the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River Management Plan.
