A thirty-day commenting period has started on the Plumas National Forest’s near 200,000-acre forest recovery project, and there’s an opportunity for you to provide feedback in person.
The North Fork Forest Recovery Project is in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) planning process proposing a variety of treatments on the approximately 166,889 acres in the project area. The project is intended to restore and recover National Forest System lands heavily impacted by the Dixie Fire in 2021, the Walker Fire in 2019, and the Moonlight Fire in 2007.
in partnership with the Sierra Institute for Community and Environment, the Plumas NF published the Draft North Fork Forest Recovery Project Environmental Assessment, on Friday initiating the 30-day comment period.
A public meeting is planned for Wednesday, August 21 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Historic Taylorsville Hall, located at 4322 Main St. in Taylorsville for community members and the public to ask questions, learn more about the project and how to provide comments.
Specific, solution-oriented comments that focus on the proposed actions or identify issues with the proposal would help plan efforts.
The Draft Environmental Assessment is available on the Plumas National Forest website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/plumas/?project=64028.
