Wednesday evening, at the Grant County Veterans Memorial Business and Conference Center, a group of at about 50 people gathered to hear about the assessment phase of the Gila National Forest Plan revision and to provide input.
Karen Yori, facilitator, introduced the new GNF Supervisor, Adam Mendonca (whose name is Portuguese and is pronounced Men-dohn-sa, he told the Beat).
"This plan is what drives everything we do," Mendonca said. "It will be used for the next 20-30 years. We will have the best product if we engage with the public."
