GWNF Forest Plan Revision Review with the Forest Service - The Forest Service is revising its management plan for the George Washington National Forest. This plan will determine what level of protection local treasures such as Massanutten, Big Schloss, and Shenandoah Mountain receive. A strong management plan would recommend permanent protection of these areas with Wilderness, National Scenic Area, or National Recreation Area status. A weak management plan would endanger old growth forests and pristine watersheds by opening them to logging and natural gas extraction. Come tell the Forest Service that you want to protect our last great places in Virginia. Let's show the Forest Service how important this resource is to Northern Virginians.
