Powers Facilitates North Fork Community Meeting
The North Fork Community (in House District 3) is very upset about proposed Special Use Permits for Commercial Recreation in the North Fork being considered by the Flathead Forest. While talking to District Ranger Rob Davies about the reactions of her North Fork constituents, Representative Powers requested that he meet with the North Fork Community on Zoom to answer questions. He enthusiastically agreed and the meeting was set for Tuesday, May 5 at 7:00pm. Representative Powers facilitated the meeting and over 50 North Forkers attended by computer or telephone. District Ranger Davies answered questions from community members for an hour and a half.
Representative Powers organized a follow-up meeting on Monday, May 11 between Davies and a small group of landowners with experience in collaboration and the NEPA process. The exchange was positive and productive.
The North Fork Community is awaiting the Forest Service decision on the special use permits and is worried about the consequences for our remote community and the abundant wildlife that lives here.
In his column in the Hungry Horse News on May 13, Larry Wilson said, “I appreciate that our state legislator, Debo Powers, arranged a Zoom conference with Rob Davies, Glacier View Ranger, so that residents could voice their concerns and Rob could answer so that everyone could hear.“
