On the Council I represent the interests of Recreational Pack and Saddle users.<\/p>\n<p>The planning process of regulating the trail is just beginning and it behooves all those who desire input to become familiar with the history and background of the PNT so as to effectively participate in the meetings as all are open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Attached is a pdf file from the USFS website which gives the background to the current work of the Pacific Northwest Trail Advisory Council of which I am a member. It is also available on the USFS website below along with detailed info about the planning process. The first meeting of the Advisory Council was held in October 2014 in Sandpoint Idaho and the next one will be in Western Washington in May 4 and 5 , 2016<\/p>\n<p>The planning process is described on the USFS website: http:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/pnt\/<\/p>\n<p>More info is available at the website of the Pacific Northwest Trail Association:http:\/\/www.pnt.org\/<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\nJim<br \/>\nJames R.
