Reflection/Evaluation
Making a great connection with GMUG geologist who has found 4 Outstanding Remarkable Values that support Bear Creek as having Wild & Scenic eligibility. Time will tell if the Forest Supervisor (FS) supports the eligibility. News just this week that the FS (Chad Stewart) has asked one of our coalition members to do some outreach to elected bodies and conservation organizations regarding the multiple comments stating that the draft EIS/Forest Plan did not adequately address climate change. So we have an opportunity outside the typical comment periods to influence decision makers!!
