It is now happening in Oregon:
The three National Forests that comprise the Blue Mountain Region of Oregon released the Proposed Revised Land Management Plan and DEIS on March 14, 2014. These forests are: The Malheur, the Umatilla, and the Wallowa-Whitman, including Hells Canyon National Recreation Area.
The plan will be available for comment for 90 days, which means the comment period will end on June 16, 2014.
ALL of the action alternatives in the Proposed Plan contain the following standard:
"The use of recreational pack goats shall not be authorized or allowed within or adjacent to source habitat for bighorn sheep."
As you can see, it is of the utmost importance that we comment on this issue. The Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming has set a precedent, and this is now starting to have a "ripple effect." Unless we exercise our right to comment, object, and litigate, we will potentially lose more and more areas to recreate with our goats.
