The National Park Service has released the Ross Lake NRA Draft General Management Plan and EIS for comment. The place to start is the NPS website:
There you can download the Executive Summary by clicking "Download Newsletter #3 - The Executive Summary of the Draft Plan"
American Alps advocates for the conversion of substantial amounts of this NRA into National Park designation, but this plan review process is on a fixed schedule so it will be proceeding before the American Alps proposal will come to fruition. We urge you to attend one or more of the public hearings and/or write comments in support of Alternative "C," which NPS identifies as offering the greater conservation values for this area now, until it can be converted to Park.
The public comment period ends Sept. 30, 2010.
