Merced River Plan Update
We would like to thank everyone who took the time to come to one of the alternatives workshops and everyone who has submitted workbook comments. We have enjoyed sharing with you some of the challenges and considerations that we are dealing with. We especially enjoyed hearing your thoughts on them.

We are extending the comment period for the workbook to December 14, 2011, in response to comments and requests we have received thus far. The planning team will begin putting together and refining alternatives over the next couple months. Your comments and feedback on the workbook will help.

Using feedback from the public, we will release an overview of the draft Merced River Plan alternatives in a newsletter in late winter 2012. A 30-day public comment period will follow.

Next Open House: January 25, 2012
Since there are no new updates on the park's current plans and projects at this time, we are canceling the previously scheduled November 30, 2011, open house. We look forward to seeing you at the next open house on January 25, 2012.
