Public Meetings on Fossil Creek Management

[chumley]

The Wild and Scenic designation of Fossil Creek means bureaucrats can get involved in making poor choices for the places we love!

Of course, with a little bit of involvement from us, perhaps the things they decide to implement will make more sense? (I know, I doubt it too.)

But here's some info if you're feeling ambitious:

Coconino and Tonto Forests Host Public Meetings About Future Management of Fossil Creek
Date: September 10, 2010
Contact: Coconino Supervisor's Office - 928-527-3600

Phoenix, AZ — Coconino and Tonto national forest officials will host two public meetings September 21 and 22 about the future management of Fossil Creek.

The Fossil Creek planning team is seeking public input in determining management plans for the Fossil Creek Wild and Scenic River.

The first meeting is 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. September 21 at the Arizona Game and Fish Office, 5000 West Carefree Highway, Phoenix, Ariz.

The second meeting is 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. September 22 at the Du Bois Center Ballroom, NAU South Campus, Flagstaff, Ariz.

Fore more Information, call Lynn Humphrey, Fossil Creek planning team leader, 541-750-7158. Visit Fossil Creek Wild & Scenic River for more information about the project.

I personally think that the planning team leader should start by not having an Oregon phone number, but I'm not sure if that's the kind of feedback they're really looking for.

Interesting comment to the story: "I've kayaked down Fossil Creek many times."
I would think that would be more work than fun... But I'd like to see him go over the falls.

The latest from the meeting in Pine. Looks like over 100 people showed up at the meeting but didn't get more info than other one in Payson..
