Flathead National Forest Stakeholder Collaboration Final Report available

Those of you who have labored through all or part of the public “collaborative” phase of the Flathead National Forest Plan Revision, will be glad to know that the Flathead National Forest Stakeholder Collaboration Final Report is now available. You can obtain it by going to the Meridian Institute’s “FNFplanrevision” web page and clicking on the link near the top of the page. Given the amount of time spent on the collaborative process, the document is surprising brief — a mere 44 pages.

Flathead Forest Plan collaboration thank-you

Several NFPA members were involved in the Flathead National Forest Plan revision meetings . . .

The Meridian Institute would like thank everyone who participated in the Flathead National Forest plan revision stakeholder collaboration meetings over the past eight months. It has been our pleasure to work with the forest staff and more than 165 people who attended up to 16 evening meetings to talk about how the forest should be managed.

Participants included wildlife experts, snowmobilers, wilderness advocates, mountain bike enthusiasts, timber company employees, horse packers, rafters, summer motorized users, aviators, county commissioners, students, people who simply care about the forest because it is in their back yard, and many others. Other interested stakeholders contributed comments electronically.
