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 3 (Southwestern Region), which encompasses all of Arizona and New Mexico.
As part of this national effort, public roundtable meetings will be held on Wednesday, April 28, 2010, in Albuquerque, NM and Phoenix, AZ. (See Schedule below)
