Forest Service reps update commission

U.S. Forest District Ranger Mark Foster of the United States Forest Service (USFS) gave an update to the commission at their April 2 meeting.
Infrastructure repairs was a hot topic. Foster reported on the Five Springs Overlook project, which may result in occasional closures during excavation.
Meanwhile, in the Medicine Wheel area, the USFS will be working on the gate and fence at the parking area and the repair of the northern pasture fence, which has fallen into disrepair over the years. Foster said the USFS is considering using steel jack fence and is seeking approval from all the consulting partners of the Wheel. Further discussion of the project will be held at a meeting scheduled for July.
