[POULEY John * OPRD]

Greetings,

The Forest Service is currently soliciting nominees for the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail Advisory Council, including a member to represent archeological and historic preservation and/or interpretation. Please consider applying, and please share this opportunity with Association for Washington Archaeology members.

The 1,200-mile Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (also called the "PNT") is a non-motorized recreation trail from the Continental Divide to the Pacific Ocean through Montana, Idaho, and Washington. The Advisory Council will meet twice annually for approximately three years to provide recommendations to the Secretary of Agriculture on matters related to the long-term management of the PNT, taking into account the diversity of public values and interests along the trail corridor.

Additional information about the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, the Advisory Council, and how to apply is available at http://tinyurl.com/pntadvisorycouncil and by contacting Matt McGrath, Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail Program Manager, at 425-783-6199 or mtmcgrath at fs.fed.us<mailto:mtmcgrath at fs.fed.us>. To update the information in the press release, applications are preferred by September 30th but will be accepted through October 15th.

We would welcome your association's involvement. Thank you.
