Apr 18, 2002 9:36 AM | | The Forest Service has released their long awaited Access and Travel Management (ATM) Environmental Analysis for the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Watershed.
Get the details and send a letter
The Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Valley is a scenic natural recreation area within 90 minutes of downtown Seattle. The wild natural beauty of the Middle Fork Valley is unsurpassed by other lower elevation recreational areas in Western Washington State. Unfortunately the values that make the Middle Fork Valley an attractive natural recreation opportunity have been threatened by illegal dumping, methamphetamine laboratories and illegal shooting.
The MF ATM addresses many of these issues. Alternative "E" of the Middle Fork ATM includes several excellent components designed to safeguard the valley while including mountain bike use on the Middle Fork trail seasonally and on odd days.
This is 13 miles of classic, beautiful, close-to-Seattle trail that makes for an incredible experience by foot, bicycle, or horse.
While there is solid support for alternative "E", public comment is a necessary part of the process and will absolutely influence the outcome. The comment deadline is May 8. Please send in a letter of support - it's easy, just click on the link above. |
