The Forest Service has begun the process of revising the management plan for the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Apache-Sitgreaves is managed as a single forest and encompasses over 2 million acres in east-central Arizona. The latest update about the plan can be found at: http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/asnf/plan-revision/documents.shtml. The update includes information about upcoming public meetings in early September. The purpose of these meetings is to gather public input on desired conditions. Desired conditions are the foundation of the revised plan and "paint a picture" of what the forests look like and provide. A first draft of desired conditions is available for review and input on the website above. This plan will affect how recreation activities--including hunting, recreational shooting, and the use of motorized vehicles--are managed in the future. If you recreate in the Apache-Sitgreaves, it is important that you review the "desired conditions" and submit comments, as well as attend at least one of the public meetings next month. |
