Yes, it is a major issue to drill holes that are not approved. It is a major issue for CCZ not to engage with these groups. If CCZ doesnt communicate and educate them on whats going on they are going to do it themselves. If they find a pebble that dropped from a mountain and can tie CCZ as the cause of it they will report it. This is what happens when you disrespect an environmental group and they easily can rope in the community to support them.

Instead of having an arrogant attitude towards these groups, some empathy and communication would have went a long way. Having them work with CCZ as opposed to against them would have benefited everyone. The blame lies solely with CCZ no question about it.
