Enviro groups to discuss forest plan alternatives
Local environmental groups are putting on two meetings this week about the Lake Tahoe Basin Forest Plan.
For the first time in more than two decades the Forest Service is redoing the management plan for nearly 80 percent of all the land in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Comments are being taken until Aug. 30.
Sierra Club officials will breakdown the four proposed alternatives in the plan and have local policy experts to answer questions.
The first gathering is Aug. 21 from 6-7pm at Lake Tahoe Community College, Aspen Room, South Lake Tahoe; the second is Aug. 23, 6-7pm, North Lake Tahoe Event Center, Kings Beach.
Could this have to do with the proposed layoffs mentioned today?
They are putting our homes in jepordy with all the piles and piles of dried limbs and (slash) leaving it for 2 years all that is needed is 1 piromanic or stupid person to causually drop a match, we are surrounded like a wagon train with Indians….there would be no hope for our homes.Or for that matter we ourselves,,,,we are fenced in (surrounded).THAT SHOULD BE THEIR FIRST PLAN..to change that. GET IT OUT OF HERE.
Something to read that offers another perspective on the forest plan:
