Willows >> The U.S. Forest Service Mendocino National Forest (MNF) and the Bureau of Land Management Ukiah Field Office (BLM) will hold an open house tonight to provide the public with information on the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument and monument planning process. The open house will run from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Clear Lake High School Gymnasium, located at 250 Lange St. Additionally, another will take place on May 4 at the Winters Community Center, located at 201 Railroad Ave.
These open house sessions offer a forum to learn and ask questions about the monument’s resources and recreation opportunities. The forest service and BLM will discuss plans for the near future with the monument. There will be a short introductory presentation at the beginning of the meeting, followed by information station breakouts where forest service and BLM staff members will be available to share their knowledge of the area and answer questions.
Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument was designated on July 10, 2015, by President Barack Obama. The monument extends from nearly sea level on BLM lands around Lake Berryessa in the south, up to 7,000 feet through the northern Snow Mountain Wilderness and the eastern boundary of the Yuki Wilderness in the MNF. The monument offers a wealth of natural, historical and cultural resources, as well as exciting recreation opportunities for visitors.
