Update on the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forest
February 06, 2020
After months of delay, the National Forest Service expects to release the draft plan for managing the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests in mid-February. This is a quick reminder; the plan will set policy for managing the NFs for the next 15-20 years. Because so much of the Club’s activities occur on NF land, the plan is highly important to us.
The next step in this process is for the Club – as organization and members – to provide comments to the NFS on the draft plan. The NFS is required by law to take these comments into account in finalizing the management plan. The Conservation Committee will take the lead on this, preparing information packages, comment letter templates, and workshops to help members submit comments on the plan.
Stay tuned as we move forward in the management plan process. For full details, National Forest Revised Plan 2020
