IMPORTANT LAND USE ADVISORY

USFS PLANNING RULE MEETINGS ANNOUNCED

Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,

Executive Summary:

Below is an update on the U.S. Forest Service revision of its rules and regulations for amending Forest Plans. The agency has said it is committed to a open collaborative approach, and has announced several national and regional meetings.

After reviewing the agendas for the meetings, BRC believes there is good reason for the recreating public to be concerned about the direction the agency is proceeding. We discuss these concerns below, as well as provide information and links to the meetings.

This issue is of sufficient importance that we hope you will take some time to review the information, but if you want to skip it, or leave it for later, and go straight to the action item click here . . . http://www.sharetrails.org/public-lands/?section=Take-Action

As always, please call or email if you have any concerns or questions.
