Nearly 40 people came as far as Deer Lodge, Polson, Seeley Lake along with Thompson Falls and Missoula to the St. Regis Community Center last week. Everyone was interested, concerned, or already involved in the Lolo National Forest Revision that is creeping along.

Carolyn Upton, Lolo National Forest forest supervisor, was the keynote speaker with assistance from Abby Lane, Superior District manager, and Chris Gauger, Ninemile District ranger.  

The Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy at the University of Montana have contracted with the Forest Service to assist with the public engagement of the forest plan revision and they had several representatives for support with questions as another four to six forest service employees were scattered amongst the tables.
