Received this 'heads up' from the Access Fund's July Beta update...
The Sierra Nevada range holds some of the most iconic climbing resources in the United States, and much of it lies on National Forest Service land. The Forest Service is currently revising its land management plans for the three largest forests in the Sierra Nevada Range—Inyo, Sequoia, and Sierra. Once completed, these forest-level plans will dictate the direction for climbing management policies in these forests. The plans could also specifically call out climbing areas as important recreational resources that are an asset to the forests and benefit local communities. Access Fund has been actively participating in the Forest Service planning process to ensure the best possible outcome for climbing access. Erik Murdock, Access Fund Policy Director, has attended several public meetings and worked with local climbers to provide detailed input regarding the needs of the climbing community. The final plans are scheduled to be completed in 2016.
Who is Erik Murdock working with in the climbing community for SoYo?
