Alternatives Development Workshops
Throughout the development of the Merced River Plan we have checked in with you to let you know where we are in the process, to share what we've learned, and to get your ideas. In Spring 2011, Merced River Plan Workshops and Science Forum, we shared with you what we were learning about the condition of the river and its Outstandingly Remarkable Values (ORVs). Since then we've been working on developing some options for addressing the management considerations identified through the Draft Baseline Condition Report and public comment. We are identifying some of the most significant issues to share with you this fall through a series of public forums and a workbook. These forums will be an opportunity to let us know what you think of the options we've identified and help us start laying the foundations for feasible alternatives.

Merced River Plan Spring Workshops
The Merced River Plan (MRP) team hosted a series of workshops and a science forum in the spring of 2011. These workshops were a chance to find out more about the conditions of the river's Outstandingly Remarkable Values (ORVs) and management considerations that need to be addressed in a successful Merced River Plan. The workshops focused on transportation, user capacity, and the Merced River's ORVs.

For those unable to attend the workshops are available online via a webinar.

In addition to the workshops there are many other upcoming opportunities to participate in shaping the future of the Merced River. To help you understand when and how to get involved, the we've created a roadmap [PDF 4.9 MB].
