It’s been described as a shell game, it’s been delivered
as a saving grace for the “sustainability” of our nation,
and it is so important that is has taken at least five forest
supervisors and eight years to complete but one thing is
for certain, they don’t want you knowing what you’re
getting in the travel management plan, and they surely
do not want you having a true voice in the discussion.
Currently the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is
working on Subpart A of the plan; this part is where the
Forest Service decides how many and what roads are
needed (or more importantly not needed) to manage the
forest. One would think the supervisor’s office would
hold meetings with the residents of the region to find
out their specific uses and needs and work that into the
equation; unfortunately, that isn’t the case. I personally
have a request in from September of 2014 for the draft
document outlining those minimum roads numbers. As
of today, I still have no document.
Why, you might ask. Well it’s pretty simple. Because
they don’t want us to know. See, it’s pretty hard to sneak
something through when everyone knows what you’re
doing, and so the Forest Service simply keeps us in the
dark until they file the report with their regional office in
Portland. They’ll say, “We asked them to participate in
the maps session and that should count for meeting their
needs,” but it doesn’t.
Currently in Eastern Oregon exists a draft document
of the Subpart A report, and the roads it intends to iden-
tify for closure. And by the end of 2015 the WWNF will
release that plan to the regional office for acceptance.
The question is, will you allow them to do it without
standing up and saying no?
If you have time, please send an email to tmontoya@
fs.fed.us requesting the draft Subpart A report and tell him
travel management planning cannot move forward until
all uses are protected in the Subpart A report.
