BLUERIBBON COALITION LAND USE ADVISORY
USFS PLANNING RULE MEETINGS ANNOUNCED FOR PACIFIC NORTHWEST REGION
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
This is an important UPDATE to the alert we blasted last Friday.
As the alert said, the Forest Service is revising the regulations used to formulate Forest Plans (known as the Planning Rule). The agency has said it is committed to an open collaborative approach, and has announced several national and regional meetings. Nationwide, the collaborative process includes a Science Forum, three National Roundtables and Roundtables in nine Regions. More information is available on the FS Forest Planning webpage.
The FS recently announced the schedule for Regional Roundtables in Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region), which encompasses all of Oregon and Washington.
As part of this national effort, public roundtable meetings will be held in Portland, Oregon on Tuesday, April 6, 2010. The Region 6 Roundtables will include three (repeat) sessions beginning at 9:00 am, 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm PDT. You are welcome to participate in any or all of these sessions. Each session will begin with a plenary presentation, followed by facilitated roundtable discussions.
Location:
Double Tree Hotel at Lloyd Center (Multnomah Room), 1000 NE Multnomah, Portland, OR
Session times:
Repeat sessions will begin at 9:00 am, 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm PDT.
