The Inyo National Forest is currently seeking input on the Forest Assessment topic papers. The topic papers describe current conditions and expected trends and identify information or knowledge gaps for a range of social, economic, and ecological resources, including recreation, water, timber, and rare wildlife and plant species.
Public feedback on the topic papers received by September 1st will be considered as the papers are completed and used in the development of the Assessment Report.
The Assessment Report will provide information about conditions and trends of social, economic, and ecological resources that will be used when identifying the “Need for Change” in the plan revision process. The assessment is the first phase of the plan revision process.
