Olympic National Forest Sustainable Road System Open House @ Rotary Log Pavilion
Aug 21 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

The Olympic National Forest is hosting open houses asking the public to share the areas and roads they use on the Forest.  This information will help the Forest identify a financially sustainable road system that meets diverse access needs, minimizes environmental harm, and is safe and dependable because it is scaled to available resources.

“Your participation will help us understand your access needs,” said Forest Supervisor Reta Laford.  “It would be particularly helpful to know what areas you use on the Forest and what roads you use to get there.”

The open houses will be held around the Olympic Peninsula during the summer of 2014.

In addition to attending open houses, the public may provide comments using the web-based map or on-line questionnaire on the Forest website here.  Questionnaires are also available at any Olympic National Forest office.  Comments will be taken until August 31, 2014.
