pipebomb Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 BLUERIBBON COALITION PACIFIC NW REGIONAL ACTION ALERT! Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber, Attention Idaho Recreationists! As you know, the FS published a new rule requiring the agency to formally designate a system of roads, trails and areas where motorized vehicle use would be allowed. Forest Service regulations and other laws require the agency to conduct a planning process in collaboration with the public to help design the designated system. The Salmon-Challis National Forest will host a series of public meetings for the Salmon-Cobalt, North Fork, Leadore and Middle Fork Ranger Districts to start developing proposals on their Travel Management Plan. These upcoming meetings will continue the route designation process that has been underway since May 2006. Please see list of meeting dates and locations below. OHV enthusiasts need to attend in order to ensure the anti-access groups do not dominate this process as it moves forward. During this round of meetings participants are asked to submit comments on specific issues, concerns, risks and opportunities that are important for the forest and specific recommendations for changes to the OHV route system. The FS plans to release their Proposed Action to the public in early April. For more information contact Karen Gallogly, Travel Planning Team Leader at (208) 756-5103 or email to kgallogly@fs.fed.us.
