June 6: Public Update on the Lincoln National Forest Planning Process

May 18, 2017 by Leroy Cockrell, LBFRC

 

Sabrina Flores, Chief Planner for the Lincoln National Forest, will be in Ruidoso the evening of June 6, 2017 to update the Public on the Planning Process of the 2015 Lincoln National Forest Plan.  This is the promised Update to be delivered to the public in the Spring of 2017 and marks approximately the half-way point for that process.  There has been a considerable amount of attention given to this plan not only by the public at large but by many forestry and environmental groups in the area as well as the state and United States.

This is YOUR chance to come and review the work that has been done so far by the USFS!  Bring your list of questions, comments and concerns for this work as it is one of the primary opportunities for you to have your say directly to those involved in this important process that will effect how the Lincoln National Forest is run/operated for the next 15+ years or more.  Anyone that enjoys and uses the forested lands for grazing, hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, off-road activities; or, derives their living from the national forests should have an interest in this planning process.  Invite your friends, neighbors and business acquaintances to attend this very important meeting.
