Short Description of Activity
We held a call where we discussed next steps to communicate with Forest Service regarding their neglect of the EIS that was written is 2009 to stabilize and improve the conditions on the Dutch Creek grazing allotment. We had FOIA’d documents and took the time as a team to organize, review, and take notes on these documents.As a team we developed a good sense of what has and has not been done in reference to the original EIS and plan to request a meeting with the FS to learn what their plans are to improve the monitoring and protecting of some key areas.
Reflection/Evaluation
If the goal is to change grazing practices and put the health of the ecosystem as a priority than we are in process of hopefully achieving that goal. A work in progress with much frustration.
