Forest Plan Amendments Underway

The Carson National Forest has served as a land steward for this area since 1982 and has operated under the direction of a multiple use area guide. We are now beginning the process of amending our Forest Plan to include a specific vision, desired condition, management goals and direction for the Valle Vidal. The purpose of this amendment is to provide clear management direction for the Valle Vidal. It is essential that we have a solid vision of the desired future for the Valle Vidal. Such a foundation is essential as the backdrop for any and all future proposals.
