Tusayan Ranger District Releases Travel Management Project Environmental Assessment for Public Comment
TUSAYAN, Ariz. –The Kaibab National Forest has released the Tusayan Ranger District Travel Management Project Environmental Assessment for public review and comment. The document and accompanying maps are available on the Kaibab National Forest website at http://fs.usda.gov/goto/kaibab/trd_tmr.
Forest managers are seeking input on the assessment, which describes the proposed actions to improve the management of motorized vehicle use on the Tusayan Ranger District. In order to comply with the regulations established in the Travel Management Rule (36 CFR 212), the proposal will prohibit motorized travel off of the designated system of forest roads. Additionally, the proposal includes changes to the existing system of forest roads to protect natural and cultural resources while considering the need for a variety of recreational opportunities.
