The
public comment period for the Humboldt Forest DEIS ended on 9/14/09. You can still sign and
comment and we will keep your letter on file and notify you on any
further land use issues in the Humboldt National Forest.
The Humbolt-Toiyabe National Forest is
currently proposing the closure of almost 1000 miles of existing single track trails, which are vital for recreation and the local economy.
Unless
more people speak up in favor of preserving these great trails it is
likely they will be lost forever. These closures would further
concentrate recreation on remaining trails, increase impacts, reduce
forest health and harm the economy.
These
trails lead to vistas, scenic byways, secluded lakes, creeks and
primitive camping. None of these trails have been proven to affect
water quality, habitats, or plants. Arbitrary date based seasonal closures will be increased up to 30%
In
just TWO MINUTES you can help by submitting a letter using pre-drafted
comments or your own comments to the Sierra National Forest voicing your
concerns that these roads & trails remain open.
