  • DEIS Comments 2016
    August 24, 2016 Planning Team Leader Forest Plan Revision 1323 Club Drive Vallejo, CA 94592 Sent to: [email protected] RE: Inyo National Forest Draft Land Management Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Region 5 Early Adopter Forests Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Inyo National Forest (INF) draft land management plan and the three Forest Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). Friends of the Inyo is a locally-based nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to the stewardship, exploration, and preservation of the Eastern Sierra’s public lands and wildlife. Over our 30 year history, Friends of the Inyo has been an active partner with the Inyo National Forest, initially providing public comments on actions stemming from the Forest’s 1988 forest planning process to today where staff, members, and volunteers have contributed well over a quarter of a million dollars in in-kind labor, interpretation and support across nearly every professional Forest discipline. We represent a collective voice of more than 700 local and regional members. We have engaged in the INF plan revision process since the development of the Forest Assessment in 2013. These comments follow our comments submitted on Desired Conditions, Need to Change and Scoping comments. Our approach is to support and improve the preferred alternative; however, there are instances where we believe other alternatives better address a resource or issue and in these cases we ask the particular component be moved to the preferred alternative. We worked with a variety of species experts and collaborators on these comments and in some cases we use their language for our comments.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, transmitted, transcribed, stored in a retrieval system, or translated into any language or computer language, in any form or by any means, without prior written permission from Christopher Earls Brennen. ISBN-0-9667409-1-2 Preface In this collection of stories, I have recorded some of my adventures on the mountains of the world. I make no pretense to being anything other than an average hiker for, as the first stories tell, I came to enjoy the mountains quite late in life. But, like thousands before me, I was drawn increasingly toward the wilderness, partly because of the physical challenge at a time when all I had left was a native courage (some might say foolhardiness), and partly because of a desire to find the limits of my own frailty. As these stories tell, I think I found several such limits; there are some I am proud of and some I am not. Of course, there was also the grandeur and magnificence of the mountains. There is nothing quite to compare with the feeling that envelopes you when, after toiling for many hours looking at rock and dirt a few feet away, the world suddenly opens up and one can see for hundreds of miles in all directions. If I were a religious man, I would feel spirits in the wind, the waterfalls, the trees and the rock. Many of these adventures would not have been possible without the mar- velous companionship that I enjoyed along the way.

  • Inyo National Forest Assessment Topic Paper (November 2013)
    INYO NATIONAL FOREST ASSESSMENT TOPIC PAPER (NOVEMBER 2013) Chapter 15: Designated Areas Introduction This chapter will assess current conditions and trends for both statutorily designated and administratively designated areas on the Inyo National Forest, including wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, national scenic areas, national trails, research natural areas, scenic byways, and inventoried roadless areas. While the Inyo NF does have designated critical habitat for the federally endangered species, Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep (SNBS), this designated habitat for SNBS (as well as proposed critical habitat for other species) will be evaluated in the Chapter 5 topic paper, and the information will not be repeated here in Chapter 15. In addition, this chapter will evaluate the potential need and opportunity for additional designated areas, such as wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, or research natural areas. This evaluation will be completed using a framework of questions regarding need and opportunity for additional designated areas on the Forest. This chapter will describe the relative contribution of Inyo NF designated areas within the context of the broader landscape, including geographic connections and coordinated management between designated wilderness national scenic trails, and wild and scenic rivers on adjoining lands managed by other federal agencies. Process and Methods Scale of Assessment This assessment will be focused on the area within the boundaries of the Inyo National Forest (Inyo NF or Forest) for existing designated
