Brule River State Forest Master Plan Hearings
In September
Two public hearings will be held on the final draft of the Brule
River State Forest Master Plan and Environmental Impact Statement.
The Brule River State Forest Master Plan includes objectives for managing
recreation, native plant communities, scenery, wildlife habitat and the
production of forest products.
The draft Environmental Impact Statement considers the positive and
negative effect proposed management actions would have on the environment.
It also considers the effects of actions that were not chosen but were
considered at earlier stages in the planning process.
The public hearings will begin with an open house format to answer questions
regarding the plan. A public hearing format follows where individuals may
officially comment on the document. Both meetings will be held from 6 to
9 p.m.
