This one is urgent! The scoping period for submitting comments on the proposed FS plan revisions closes tomorrow, August 17th! Many FS plan revisions include a ban on sheep and goats with no exemptions made for packgoats. Because of this, NAPgA needs YOU to submit your comments so that the FS and BLM know that we are here and that we are important. Officials won't think to put in exceptions to sheep/goat bans unless we make our voices heard. This page gives the email address you can use to submit comments:

Another fast-approaching deadline is the Jim McLure-Jerry Peak Wilderness management plan. Comments for this scoping period end August 25th:

Your comments do not have to be long and they should not be confrontational or abrasive. These FS plans are not yet made and therefore do not contain packgoat bans as yet. This is our chance to get in on the ground floor and make a positive impression. We need to let these folks know that we are here and that we are interested and we want to be included in the discussion when the plans are drawn up. We also need to let them know that our packgoats cannot be lumped into the same category with brush goats and sheep. Our goats are bonded companion animals in good health who enjoy excellent care and attention and our government agencies need to hear this.
