The period was elongated in response to disruption caused by the coronavirus. In particular, the crisis prevented the U.S. Forest Service from holding the open house events it had planned. Going forward, the planning team will host a series of virtual open houses during which they will answer public questions using conference calls. The open houses do not require internet access to attend.

Virtual open houses will be held:

• Thursday, May 28, 6:30-8 p.m.
• Tuesday, June 2, 7:30-9 a.m.
• Thursday, June 4, 5:30-7 p.m.
• Monday, June 8, noon-1:30 p.m.

To join, call 888.251.2949 or 215.861.0694 using access code 3889103#.

Similar to an open house meeting, information will be organized by topics such as recreation, wildlife, timber and wilderness. In addition to the proposed plan and analysis, a full suite of supporting materials is already online, including a two-minute introductory video, a visual reader's guide, an overview presentation, detailed presentations, questions and answers on multiple topics and interactive maps.
