YOUR VOICE NEEDS TO BE HEARD! The first public meeting in our area for the revision of the Pike/San Isabel National Forest Plan is next Wednesday evening. The US Forest Service counts people who show up as being a lot more important stakeholders than those who just write in.
Those of you who participated in the Red Rock Canyon, the Pikes Peak Master Plan, and the Cheyenne Mountain State Park processes can attest to how important it is to be there when the rules are written.
Please review the information below. There are links to various Forest Service web sites, plus a listing of all the meeting times and places.
And please, show up on next Wednesday evening, 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the La Foret Conference Center, 6145 Shoup Rd .
Thanks for your support!

Help Preserve Access to Famous Colorado
Trails A series of important public meetings in January and February will help determine the future of some of Colorado's best mountain biking trails. Mountain bikers are encouraged to attend these meetings and request our continued access to epic rides like the Monarch Crest Trail, Buffalo Creek, sections of the Colorado and Continental Divide Trails, and numerous trails near Colorado Springs, Salida, Leadville, and Pueblo. The Pike and San Isabel (PSI) National Forests are revising their management plan, which will determine how forest lands and trails will be managed for the next 15-20 years. The PSI is also undergoing separate planning to determine which trails will be open to OHV use. Both planning processes will be addressed at the public meetings. Let the Forest Service know that mountain bikers care about protecting the environment and responsible recreation. Your attendance is crucial to help preserve access to our favorite trails. For more information, visit the Forest Plan revision website. Meetings are scheduled for the following locations and dates: 1.
