Following this week’s three virtual public meetings, the Shoshone National Forest Supervisor has decided to extend the comment period associated with the Preliminary Environmental Assessment, which is part of the Travel Management Planning process for motorized use.
“We heard from numerous members of the public that they needed more time to fully digest the Preliminary Environmental Assessment,” said Forest Supervisor Lisa Timchak. “I want to ensure all interested individuals and parties have adequate time to provide robust written comments on this assessment, so I am extending the comment period by 30 days.”
The Preliminary Environmental Assessment and all associated maps are located on the Shoshone National Forest website here. Comments on the Preliminary Environmental Assessment should be submitted in writing via one of the following means:
·send an email to SM.FS.shonfcomment@usda.gov with “Shoshone NF Travel Management Planning Project” in the subject line or
·via regular mail to Mark Foster (Environmental Coordinator), Shoshone National Forest, 808 Meadow Lane Avenue, Cody, WY 82414
