SUMMARY: The USDA, Forest Service will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) to evaluate options for addressing forest health concerns in the southern half of the Metolius Basin. The main objectives of the project will be to reduce the risk of losing important forest habitats to catastrophic wildfire, insects and disease; reduce the risk of impacts from wildfire on residents, visitors and tribal resources; enhance late-successional habitats; protect and restore riparian areas; to evaluate the road network. The project area is located approximately 15 miles northwest of Sisters, Oregon.

SUMMARY: This document provides notice that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) intends to prepare a RMP and associated EIS under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The plan will provide a framework to guide subsequent management decisions on approximately 902,528 acres of public land and 1,305,504 acres of subsurface mineral estate administered by the BLM in Madison and Beaverhead Counties. However, 59,287 acres of public land located immediately south of the Big Hole River in Beaverhead County will not be included in this planning effort. This land is administered by the BLM Butte Field Office and will be considered in future planning efforts for that area.

Plan on spending a relaxing weekend with other western activists and their families, no meetings, no rallies, no schedules. Visit "ground zero" and socialize with local and other western leaders in a rustic lodge setting, everyone is welcome. Camp next to the Tulelake Wildlife Refuge in a beautiful setting. An old west BBQ is planned Saturday evening.

The time for me to write the August article has arrived. In this column this month, I'll discuss some of my dealings with environmentalist wackos and those who blindly follow environmental groups on the good old Internet, with some quotes from them and some of my responses demanding that they prove their wild accusations.

The Apache-Sitgreaves, Coconino, Kaibab, Prescott, and Tonto National Forests will prepare an environmental impact statement to address cross-country travel by motorized wheeled vehicles and how to standardize road and trail signing conventions for OHVs. These five forests differ in their current direction for this type of recreational use. Confusion among OHV users over permitted types of travel and road and trail signs is common.
