The Olympic National Forest is hosting three final open houses asking the public to share the areas and roads they use on the Forest. This information will help the Forest identify a financially sustainable road system that meets diverse access needs, minimizes environmental harm, and is safe and dependable because it is scaled to available resources.
“Your participation will help us understand your access needs,” said Forest Supervisor Reta Laford. “It would be particularly helpful to know what areas you use on the Forest and what roads you use to get there.”
The open houses have been held around the Olympic Peninsula throughout this summer, with the final three being held in Shelton, Aberdeen, and Olympia during the remainder of August.
* 4-7 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 19, Shelton Civic Center
* 4-7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 21, Rotary Log Pavilion in Aberdeen
* 4-7 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 27, Olympic National Forest, Supervisor’s Office, 1835 Black Lake Blvd. SW, Olympia
In addition to attending open houses, the public may provide comments using the web-based map or on-line questionnaire on the Forest website: http://ift.tt/Xhwedo. Questionnaires are also available at any Olympic National Forest office. Comments will be taken until Aug. 31.
