What do people who live and have fun in the national forests want from them?
The U.S. Forest Service will hold the second in a series of public dialogues to explore the values, attitudes and beliefs that help shape people's desires and expectations for their national forests.
Forestry officials hope to use public comment to organize a regional assessment, and Identify the issues to be addressed in the assessment, to support revisions of forest management plans in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges.
Officials are calling the dialogue “an opportunity for learning, aligned actions and understanding different perspectives.”
This second dialogue will be from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24, at the Garden Pavilion Hotel, McClellan Air Force Base (just outside Sacramento), 5640 Dudley Blvd. McClellan, CA 95652. Parking is free.
The $20 registration fee includes lunch.

The first dialog session was held Nov. 4, 2010, and focused on ecological restoration and the work leaders in Forest Service Region 5 hope to accomplish over the next 15 to 20 years in the region.
About 140 participants developed a list of thoughts and recommendations about ecological restoration that was reported to the Forest Service.
Future dialogue topics may include an all-lands approach to fire protection and ecological restoration; economic sustainability and community vitality; climate change; and monitoring and adaptive management.
