this meeting is to gather information concerning the effects of the 
alternatives being considered on individuals or groups of vertebrate

proposed alternatives. The general meeting will then divide into 
thirteen simultaneous meetings covering the following individuals or 
groups of vertebrate species: California Spotted Owls, Avian Migrant 
Species, Avian Cavity Nesters, Raptors, Avian Riparian/Wetland 
Specialists, Other Avian Specialists, Large Mammals, Small Mammals 
(except Small Forest Carnivores which will be the subject of a separate

    In order to have a productive and meaningful meeting the Forest 
Service asks that participants focus their presentations on 
scientifically-based information. This meeting will not replace the 
public comment period on the DEIS.
