The public comment period for the Sierra Forest DEIS ended on 6/30/09.  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 Sierra National Forest.

The Sierra National Forest is currently proposing the closure of over 780 miles of existing forest roads and trails, which are vital for recreation as well as access for management to promote forest health.

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.
