Original Request
I would like to see a copy of the lease agreement between the Forestry Board and Glen Wylin. My reason being I cannot understand how after several years approx 20 residents who are seasonal campers are being told to vacate. We are told management are now only taking motor homes next season. All seasonal campers will obviously vacate in 7 days for the winter without any verbal or written agreement. How can this be legal?
