Queen Charlotte Forest District staff solicited input through the following actions:
• direct mail-out of the three documents to 22 organizations and businesses. The Discussion Paper included a response form, which readers were encouraged to complete and return to the district manager
• four information sessions held with representatives from local governments and interest groups (see Table 1)
• three open houses advertised extensively through the local newspaper and through flyers delivered to all Queen Charlotte Islands mailboxes
Approximately 90 individuals attended the information sessions and open houses. The Queen Charlotte Forest District also received 35 completed response forms and 20 letters.
Forest Service staff participated in forums hosted by on-island interest groups. A brief summary of the Share the Rock conference, January 1994, and the Global Links Workshop, March 1995, is presented on page 6 of this report.
