The Six Rivers National Forest is soliciting input from the public regarding concerns with management in the Horse Mountain Botanical/Special Interest Area. We are trying to determine if there is a need to manage this area differently due to a conflict of uses, specifically, recreational shooting, with the values for which the botanical area was established. Safety concerns have also been brought forward by non-shooting recreational users in the area. There is currently no proposal to change management, but the perspectives we receive from this solicitation may result in changes.
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.
