Good Morning,

 

My name is Jessica Walz Schafer and I am writing this morning because you or your group has been identified as an organization that may want to learn more about an exciting new wilderness stewardship group on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest(GPNF).

 

Congressionally designated wilderness areas are special places set aside to provide an alternative to an increasingly developed and populated society.  And while wilderness provides a plethora of ecological and social benefits, we need your help to steward these valuable resources.

 

Along with Gabe Snider, Wilderness Program Manager for the Mount Adams District of the GPNF Forest Service, and Brendan Norman of the Mount Adams Institute, I invite you to attend the first meeting of the GPNF Wilderness Stewardship Working Group in January or early February 2012.

 

If you are interested in joining us in January or early Feb. please fill out the doodle pool (link below) by January 11th as to the date/dates you are available for a half-day meeting in late January or early February.
