Invitations to the town hall have been sent out to more than 200 people who have been actively involved in the effort to find a collaborative solution to the debate over managing public forestlands, Whittington said. The session will also be open to the public, he added. “They have sent out invitations to just about everyone who spent a lot of time in the collaborative process to get the pilot projects going,” Whittington said, referring to county commissioners, timber industry representatives, environmental groups and others.
