The GWNF Stakeholders Collaborative in cooperation with the USFS is planning a field trip to the Slate Lick area near Fulks Run on January 23rd at 9:00 a.m. 

The GWNF Stakeholder group was formed in 2009 to discuss forest planning issues on the GWNF.  Those discussions resulted in a set of recommendations submitted to the FS planners in 2011.  The plan has yet to be released, but project planning has continued to move forward.  The intent is to plan projects that meet the goals of diverse interests, such as wildlife management, timber, recreation, and preservation of special places.  If you have an interest in the Slate Lick area, whether it be fishing, hunting, hiking, horseback riding, or some other activity, please come and provide input.

The plan is to meet at 9:00 a.m. at the North River District office between Bridgewater and Mt. Crawford (address - 401 Oakwood Drive, Harrisonburg, VA) and then carpool to the Slate Lick site.  Anyone who lives close to Slate Lick can join the group at the wildlife viewing platform at Slate Lick at 9:30.

Please contact VWC Field Director Mark Miller at mmiller@rockbridge.net or (540) 464-1661 if you plan to attend. Based on weather conditions, Mark will confirm or cancel the field trip on Jan. 21.  The alternate date is Jan. 30.
