Andy Kulla worried that the proposed action to revise the Lolo s forest plan "ignores the history and cultural significance of the RNRA to the Missoula community" and "is a far cry from why the RNRA was designated, what Congress intended, how it was treated in the 1986 LNF Plan and what we’ve come to expect and take for granted."
The Lolo s proposed action comes as a variety of recreation, conservation and wilderness advocacy groups have brought attention to forest plan revision on the adjacent Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, which borders the Lolo over the state line in Idaho. The two forests share the storied Great Burn area west of Missoula and the Hoodoo Recommended Wilderness Area therein.
Anyone hoping to comment on the Lolo National Forest s draft assessment and list of potential species of conservation concern for its ongoing resource management plan revision has until the end of Saturday to make their voice heard.
