At the
workshop, participants will have the opportunity to discuss potential
needs-for-change in the forest management plan and work together to address the
range of all interests.
This Oct.
5th meeting was originally scheduled for Aug. 3, 2013.
Forest
Service managers rescheduled the day-long workshop to allow planners,
biologists and other staff members more time to review the information
submitted as part of the Plan revision Assessment Phase. Agency officials are committed
to ensuring that all information submitted during the Assessment Phase is
thoroughly reviewed. This will allow agency employees, partners and other
members of the public to better determine what changes are needed in the
current management plan of the two national forests. The goal is to develop a
Plan that guides the sustainable management of the Nantahala and Pisgah
National Forests for about 15 years.
The
Forest Service plans to conduct additional public sessions this fall and winter
to continue public participation in the Plan revision process. Information
about the Plan revision process is available online at: www.fs.usda.gov/goto/nfsnc/nprevision.
