The Laurel of Asheville published this story about the Pisgah-Nantahala Forest Plan in their most recent issue. The story features I HEART PISGAH and the U.S. Forest Service planning team leader discussing the priorities of the upcoming Forest Plan. A draft of the plan is expected to be released this spring.
Thanks to Emma Castleberry and The Laurel of Asheville for their coverage of the plan, which will decide how the forests surrounding Asheville and all of Western North Carolina will be managed for the next three decades.
