The U.S. Forest Service is hosting a listening session on forest planning for the Mt. Hood and Gifford Pinchot National Forest on Monday evening in Hood River. After an opening presentation, session participants will break out into small groups to address a number of questions with Forest Service representatives. Those questions include what should the Forest Service consider when revising Northwest forest plans, how science should be incorporated in the process, and how should the public be engaged. The session will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday at the Columbia Gorge Hotel in Hood River. The Forest Service is holding a dozen of the sessions around the Northwest.
