Olympic National Park officials are asking the public to participate in workshops Tuesday and Wednesday to address wilderness, access and other visitor issues as part of the general management plan they are developing to guide the park’s future.
Those attending will be split into small groups to address various issues and develop “alternative visions” for the park.
Issues include whether and how the park should restore natural systems altered by humans, whether park boundaries need to be adjusted to protect resources, what level of facilities should be built in the backcountry and what types and levels of activities such as hiking, skiing, camping and fishing should be allowed.
The workshops are scheduled Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St., and at two locations Wednesday, both at 6 p.m. — Olympic Natural Resources Center in Forks, 1455 S. Forks Ave., and the Quinault Ranger Station in Amanda Park, 353 South Shore Road.
