Officials with Lolo National Forest have launched a series of webinars and office hours to get the public up to speed on the process of revising the forest’s land management plan. The goal is to involve the public in revising the document that guides the management of the forest and its resources for everyone from loggers to recreationists.
The first phase of the revision process will examine the current plan, with a draft of that assessment expected sometime this spring. A new land management plan likely won’t be finalized until 2026. Get involved!
