The meetings will offer an in- teractive group setting where par- ticipants are encouraged to speak freely. They will be facilitiated by Dr. Tim Casey, Professor of Polit- ical Science and Director of Nat- ural Resource Center at Colorado Mesa University. Each session will last about 90 minutes. The focus of the conversation at each session will center on questions like: • What are the qualities of Lo- gandale Trails that make it special for recreation? • What are your interests and expectations when you recreate in the area? • What are your management priorities for the area? Feedback on these questions can give BLM a better under- standing of the public’s desires and expectations for how to man- age the area.
