BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
Attention Colorado Recreationists!
The Pike and San Isabel National Forests are revising their Land and Resource Management Plans (Forest Plans). To begin the process they are holding a series of public meetings during the months of January and February throughout central Colorado.
These meetings will begin by recording and mapping your views on needed changes to the management strategies on various issues ranging from recreation to conservation. Then there will be discussions on the changes you have identified and how they will fit into the revision process and how this will leads to a working relationship in the future.
The review is part of a directive that forest plans be revised every 15 years. Although the Pike and San Isabel plan has been amended 31 times in the past 22 years, it hasn't been completely rewritten since 1984.
National forest plan revisions in Colorado have spawned controversy in the past. A revision for the White River National Forest resulted in many delays and lawsuits before being finalized in 2002.
At issue on the Pike and San Isabel national forests will be ranching, recreation, oil and gas development, logging, forest thinning and off-road vehicle use. The FS says they will complete the plan by October 2008.
This is the chance to have your ideas heard and to let the FS know what is working and what is not with the current management of the Pike and San Isabel National Forest.
The meetings will be from 5:30 to 9 p.m. and will take place at a variety of locations in January and February:
- Jan. 17, Leadville, National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum, 120 W. 9th St.
- Jan. 18, Salida, Chaffee County Fairgrounds, 10165 County Road 120.
- Jan. 30, Denver, Clements Community Center, 480 S. Allison Parkway.
- Jan. 31, Colorado Springs, La Foret Conference Center, 6145 Shoup Road.
- Feb. 14, Westcliffe, Rancher's Roost Cafe & Bowling Alley, 25 Main St.
- Feb. 15, Pueblo, El Pueblo Museum, 302 N. Santa Fe Ave.
- Feb. 21, Fairplay, Fairplay Fairbarn, 880 Bogue St.
PLEASE IF YOU RECREATE IN THE PIKE AND SAN ISABEL NATIONALS FORESTS GET INVOLVED NOW!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please contact BRC.
Thanks in advance for your involvement,
