Idaho Environmental Forum presents
a special President’s Day luncheon
Monday, February 20, 2012
with U.S. Senator Mike Crapo and his special guest,
Chief of the U.S. Forest Service, Tom Tidwell
Senator Crapo has invited Chief Tidwell to Idaho because of the success Idaho has had with the collaborative land management process on the Clearwater Basin Collaborative. Coincidentally, this was the subject of IEF’s most recent program, on February 2, 2012.
That process worked with the Owyhee Initiative and is spreading to other areas, such as the Kootenai Valley Resource Initiative in Idaho’s Panhandle, the Lemhi County Forest Restoration Group, the Clearwater Basin Collaborative, and closer to Boise the Payette Forest Coalition and Boise Forest Coalition.
Chief Tidwell will speak about the soon to be adopted forest planning Rule and answer questions. Senator Crapo will discuss the collaborative elements of this Rule. He hopes that this interactive discussion will help guide how the Forest Service implements the Rule going forward. Additionally, the senator will be bringing attention to the Clearwater Basin Collaborative and other projects that will benefit from a final Forest Planning Rule that places an enhanced focus on collaboration.
The President’s holiday is a great time to bring your kids with you – and hear how Idaho’s work in collaborative land management is an example for the rest of the nation. To that end we are offering a special $7.00 cost for school age kids accompanied by parents.
