I recieved the following from the Blue Ribbon Coalition. I hope it's not the beginning of the end.
BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
Attention Southern Idaho and Northern Nevada Recreationist!
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Twin Falls District is preparing a Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Jarbidge Field Office. As part of that ongoing process they will be hosting a Data Fair to give the public an opportunity to review the data to be used for developing the Jarbidge RMP.
Displays will include maps, scientific literature and data collected over the past year including summaries of the Ecological Site Inventory, a current vegetation map, road inventories and results of wildlife population and habitat studies.
The Data Fair will be an interactive and informal open house. This is your opportunity to meet and visit with the Jarbidge RMP interdisciplinary Team, comment on the displayed data, and provide any data or information you may have.
The BLM will provide maps for attendees to indicate special areas for recreation, wildlife, or other resources and uses. The Field Office staff will also accept data and information prior to the event for those unable to attend and will be able to give presentations on specific data or topics upon request.
Date: Wednesday, January 31, 2007
Time: 3:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Location: Herrett Center
College of Southern Idaho, Twin Falls
PLEASE IF YOU RECREATE IN ANY OF THESE AREAS GET INVOLVED NOW! PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IS CRUCIAL TO KEEP RECREATION AREAS OPEN.
Thanks in advance for your support,
Brian Hawthorne
