We are Laura, Penny, Russell, Mitch and Georgenne. Like you, we love Mt. Hood and consider it our responsibility to be informed and take action for the protection of the forests, waters, and wildlife with whom we share the landscape. 

Public comment periods are required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which requires the government disclose information about the environmental impacts of a major federal action, and review the publics' comments, before the it makes a decision. Public comments are an essential part of the decision making process and often lead to much better (or less bad) federal projects.

Right now, the Forest Service is in the first round of public comments for the Zigzag Project. Please follow the link below to see some example Talking Points and submit your own comments, concerns, recommendations, and questions to the Forest Service in the early stages of the project development.
