Hi Kate, The Trump administration is moving to restrict the public’s ability to track and comment on projects that shape the future of our national forests.TAKE ACTION NOWThe U.S. Forest Service is proposing a rule that would drastically shorten public review periods for major forest projects—at the same time the administration is pushing to expand commercial logging on public lands. Instead of weeks to review proposals affecting thousands of acres, communities could have as little as 10 days, with strict limits on formal objections. That’s not enough time for volunteers, scientists, and local organizations to review plans, visit sites, consult experts, and submit meaningful feedback. Public input has repeatedly improved forest projects—protecting sensitive habitat, watersheds, and wildlife. Shorter review periods make it easier to fast-track large projects with less transparency. Our national forests belong to all of us. Decisions that shape them for decades shouldn’t be rushed or made without meaningful public involvement. The administration is accepting public comments—but only until March 9. Make your voice heard before this rule moves forward.PROTECT PUBLIC INPUTThank you for standing up for our forests—and for the public’s right to help protect them. With gratitude,Benjamin PitterleDirector of Advocacy and Field Operations

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HIGHWAY 1 ON BIG SUR COAST REMAINS CLOSED NEAR REGENT’S SLIDE

MONTEREY COUNTY – A 6.8-mile segment of Highway 1 near Regent’s Slide remains closed due to ongoing debris cleanup as a result of ongoing winter storms.

Highway 1 is currently closed from two miles north of Lucia, to one mile south of the Esalen Institute. Message and directional signs are in place to alert travelers in advance of this closure.

The slope above the roadway at Regent’s Slide remains stable. However, the catchment area at the base of the slope has filled with debris that has eroded during recent rains. This erosion activity is an expected outcome following recent slide repairs and will continue as the slope seasons over time.

At present, debris in the catchment area has overtopped the concrete barriers on the northbound shoulder, allowing debris and rocks to travel directly on to the highway.

Crews will begin to clear debris from the catchment area during upcoming breaks in the rain. This cleanup effort is dependent on weather and site conditions. Updates will be provided as work progresses and at present there is no estimated time for a full reopening.

Caltrans Central Coast (District 5) @CaltransD5 •
