The Sequoia National Forest has extended the deadline for comments from the public concerning travel on public land around Isabella Lake from March 31 to April 20.

Controlling uncontrolled travel has been a “hot button” issue lately, since a public meeting March 23 in Lake Isabella which a large crowd attended and voiced their concerns about managing travel.

Forest Supervisor Tina Terrell received requests for more time to review the documents, so the comment period has been extended for an additional 15 days.  Comments must be received no later than April 20, 2009, at 4:30 p.m.   

Federal, State, tribal and local government and other interested parties are requested to comment on the DEIS.  Comments will be accepted by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or by mail to: Chris Sanders, Travel Management, Sequoia National Forest, 1839 South Newcomb Street, Porterville, CA 93257, or by facsimile to (559) 781-4744.
