Custer-Gallatin Master Plan Revision Meetings

Yup, more meetings. It's a federal project, after all.

The next step involves two public meetings as described at https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/custergallatin/landmanagement/planning/?cid=fseprd487199; one on April 21 in Bozeman and one on April 28 in Billings.

Please, please, please consider attending one or both if you can (in person is probably best, but there is an online option as well). Making our voices heard at each stage in this process is critical to maintaining motorized-use recreation opportunities in the forest. There seem to be fewer meetings at this stage than prior stages (where they had a lot more places and times), so especially given that one of the meetings is in Bozeman, I'd guess that non-motorized use will be well-represented.

Thansk for the heads up, putting the word out to the motorized friends in the area!

Thanks!

Also, in case you were wondering how well-represented motorized users are in the previous comments, the public comments from previous stages of planning are available at https://cara.ecosystem-management.o...=1500&Project=50185&SearchResultsPerPage=1500.

(hint: not well-represented, from what I can tell—I saw very few pro-motorized comments other than those from organizations like Citizens for Balanced Use—but I probably only read a hundred comments or so, semi-randomly-selected).

I was out of town last week, but more info is up at https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/custergallatin/landmanagement/planning/?cid=fseprd487199

Note that there is an email address for providing comment on the pre-work products, and that one alternative described in the prework includes no new Wilderness recommendations. Please have a look and provide emailed comments even if you can't participate in person or via webinar.
