PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
- The Public Participation Plan emerged from conversations about Forest Plan Revision in 2014 and highlights what we have heard from the public. The plan includes a timeline of the multi-year Forest Plan Revision process and identifies several ways the public can participate in forest planning over the next couple of years.
Public Meetings in April and May 2014: Summary Document
- Forest Plan Revision is a multi-year, three-phase process that begins with the Assessment phase, which evaluates current conditions and trends for 15 broad topics, including land and water resources and social, cultural and economic conditions. In April and May 2014, the Santa Fe National Forest held 14 public meetings in communities across the forest to (1) provide stakeholders with introductory information about the Forest Plan (what it is, why it’s important) and (2) provide an opportunity for members of the public to contribute to the assessment of current conditions and trends affecting our forest. At the Forest Plan Revision Assessment Meetings we invited participants to tell us how they use the Santa Fe National Forest, what they most value about the forest, and changes they have observed over time. The summary document is a synthesis of the information we heard at these meetings.

Organizing for Public Participation Workshop Summary
