Pack Goat Ban in the Wind River Range

[Saph]

Thank you so much, Curtis, for attending the Blue Mountain Forest Plan public meeting in Tri-Cities. I won't be able to make the meeting in Ontario OR on April 10th; however, Carl, my "significant other," will attend. He has a great (probably better than I) understanding of the seriousness of this issue. He is retired from the Forest Service so he knows the "lingo," so to speak. I will make sure he gets our points across. I truly believe that our comments can make a difference.

For everyone that can't attend the public meetings--you can still comment on the Proposed Forest Plan. Remember--if you don't comment by June 16, 2014, you have no legal grounds to object to the Forest Plan Final Environmental Impact Statement, once it is released about a year from now.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I will keep posting links to the Blue Mountain Forest documents, both here & in other threads.
Here is the link to the documents, and how to comment:
