News from Becky Shufelt

Hi Brad,

Could you let the members in your tract know that tree seedlings are available for cabin owners to plant in areas that were affected by logging activities during the 2012 Dinkey Creek Project? I would announce it at your tract meeting but I’m afraid it might be too late in the season to plant the trees for them to survive.  Our tree planting crew was able to plant about 100 trees in the area behind lot #12, but I am sure there are other areas that might need attention.  If anyone is interested, you can pass them my contact information, listed below.  Thanks!

From Debra Rios - US Forest Service

Hi,

Just wanted to let you all know and you can update your tract members, we are still on hold with the 2013 billings for the cabins.  The holdup is due to waiting for the fee calculation programming to be completed and installed in the database system.  We are anticipating that to be functional by mid-January which means you should be seeing your bills around the first of February.  If there is going to be another delay, we will update you. 

If you have any questions regarding the bills/billings, please let me know, I can be reached at the number below. 

If you have questions about your recreation residence permit, please contact either myself or Brad Bolton, District Special Uses/Lands Officer.  He can be reached at this office at phone ext. 3330 or his e-mail is blbolton@fs.fed.us.

Happy New Year!
