Resource Management Plan for the Coconino National Forest

Help Plan the Future of Coconino National Forest- attend a public meeting 

The Forest Service just released the Coconino National Forest Draft Land and Resource Management Plan for public comment. EVERYTHING the Forest Service does on the Coconino for the next 15-20 years must comply with this Plan. The Plan includes direction on wildlife protection, logging, fire, recreation, wilderness, water sources, energy development, and more. 

Please attend one of these meetings to learn more about the Plan and offer your suggestions! 

If you'd like to get more involved, see the bottom of this message for information about how to help Sierra Club prepare our official comments on the Draft Forest Plan.

GET MORE INVOLVED! We are assembling a team of volunteers who care about the future of the Coconino. Opportunities for involvement include contributing to Sierra Club comments on the Draft, creating individual comments on items of interest to you, visiting specific locations to confirm that Plan recommendations are appropriate for those areas, and helping to raise awareness about the Plan revision process. No experience is necessary - just bring a love for wild places! We will hold a one-hour volunteer meeting in Flagstaff on Friday, January 24 at noon in the public room at Natural Grocers, 503 W. Clay Ave. in Flagstaff. 
If you would like more information about participating in the Sierra Club Grand Canyon Chapter's Forest Planning team, please contact Alicyn Gitlin atalicyn.gitlin@sierraclub.org or (928) 774-6514.
Thank you.
