Recreational Facility Anaylsis
 |
Recreation Facility Analysis (RFA) is an
analysis process, used nationally, to assist Forests in creating a
sustainable program that aligns recreation sites with visitors’ desires,
expectations and uses. Using information obtained from the
RFA process, which included a public comment period, managers of the
Lincoln National Forest developed a “5-Year
Program of Work” in August of 2008 designed to meet its RFA goals.
Contact the Lincoln National Forest at (575) 434-7200 should you have any
questions about the 5-Year Program of Work that is planned. |
Defoliation of Sacramento Mountains
After three successive winters of conifer
defoliation by a native moth known as Nepytia janetae, the population of
the moth began to decline in the winter of 2007. Recent surveys show more
“normal” population levels of this type of defoliator, which are far below those
seen during the outbreak. The Sacramento Ranger District is now looking at
salvaging the dead trees left in the wake of the outbreak. Work has begun to
salvage dead trees along Highways 82 and 244, as well as along power lines and
around Camp Resler, and the Pines and Sleepy Grass campgrounds. By late summer,
the District hopes to begin salvage work on dead standing trees on approximately
6,000 acres around the Village of Cloudcroft and the Sacramento Lookout.
