The assessment phase of forest planning calls for a rapid evaluation of existing information about relevant ecological, economic, and social conditions, trends, and sustainability. Analyzing this information will provide insight into the relationship between land management plans and the context of the broader landscape. The Black Hills National Forest is requesting your review and comment on several DRAFT assessements. As you read through these documents, please consider providing feedback: Are we on the right track with the information highlighted? Did we capture what’s going well and what’s not going well, or are we missing any critical pieces? And most importantly, do the potential needs for change reflect the major issues that we should concentrate on in plan revision?
The Forest Service values public participation. Communications from the public regarding this project, including commenters' names and contact information, will become part of the public record. Comments, including anonymous comments, will be accepted at any time. However, comments posted after the close of a designated comment period may not be able to be given full consideration.
