During this public com- ment period, we welcome and encourage public com- ment on our proposal, includ- ing recommendations around which project alternative to select.= The project area has a his- tory of mixed land-ownership until about 1943 when most of the project area became national forest managed by the Deschutes National Forest. Historic railroad log- ging, extensive clear-cut log- ging, fire exclusion and sup- pression, and wildfires have impacted the ecological con- ditions of the area. The project proposes a variety of treatments in the area, including overstory and understory vegetation treat- ments, prescribed burning, road closures and decommis- sioning, and a trail reroute. In total, four alternatives were 21 considered to meet the pur- pose and need of the project. District employees will be hosting a public field trip with stops to see different proposed treatment areas on Friday, October 29. RSVP for the field trip by calling the Sisters Ranger Station at 541-549-7700. The Forest Service9s environmental assess- ment can be accessed on the Deschutes National Forest project website at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/ project/?project=48454. A copy of the environmental assessment is also available by contacting Lauren DuRocher at lauren.durocher@usda.gov. Public comments on the proposed project will be taken for 30 days after the October 22 release (till November 19). Comments may be submitted electronically to: comments- pacificnorthwest-deschutes- sisters@usda.gov. Comments must be submitted as part of the actual email message, or as an attachment in Microsoft Word, rich text format (rtf), or portable document format (pdf) only.
