Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River Plan Workshop

TUOLUMNE WILD AND SCENIC RIVER COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
August 9, 2008
Public Planning Workshop
Tuolumne Meadows, Parsons Lodge

PURPOSE

The purpose of this workshop is to review the Tuolumne River Plan’s range of early site plan concepts for Tuolumne Meadows, as presented in the 2008 Tuolumne Planning Workbook. Group discussions will focus on Alternative 5—the preferred alternative—and how best to create a site design for Tuolumne Meadows under this management scenario.

OBJECTIVES

Participant groups will be invited to talk with planners about each of the Tuolumne River Plan alternatives, including the current draft preferred alternative. Individuals will work together to create a possible site design according the management zoning established in the preferred alternative. Each group will present their concept to the other workshop participants. By the end of the session, the planning team will have received several potential Tuolumne Meadows site planning concepts for the preferred alternative.
