Coconino National Forest Announces Forest Plan Revision Meetings for November

Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,

The Coconino National Forest, located in Central Arizona, will be hosting a series of public meetings in November. The purpose of the meetings is to gather early public input on developing Forest Plan language. Interested members of the public are invited to engage in the revision of the Coconino National Forest’s Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan).

The public will learn about the Forest Plan revision process to date, comment on current draft desired conditions for the forest, and provide ideas for the development of guidelines and management approaches.

Three meetings will be held between 4:00-8:30 pm, (see schedule below). Between 4:00-6:00 pm, an open house focusing on ecological plan components will be held in each location. Following the open house, a workshop on the recreation plan components will begin with a presentation promptly at 6:00 pm.  Individuals planning to attend the recreation workshop should arrive by 6:00 and plan to stay until 8:30 pm.
