About a month ago we wrote you about a survey of Southwestern Region residents and asked for your help. Included with that letter was a questionnaire asking what you thought about National Forests and Grasslands in this region and how they should be managed. We also gave you a web site and a User ID to complete the survey on-line. As of Month day, we haven’t heard from you.

Completing the questionnaire will take some time and effort on your part, but the information is needed by the Forest Service to make plans and decisions about how to manage the National Forests and Grasslands in this region. Those plans and decisions need to be made and they will be made. Better decisions can be made, though, if a wide variety of people’s views are represented. That’s why we need your help.

The accuracy of any results from this survey depends on input from all kinds of people, whether they actually use the National Forests and Grasslands a lot, a little, or not at all. Even though your response is completely voluntary, we need to hear from you. Your answers about what you do and what you think are important because they represent the views of other people like yourself.

You still have the option of completing the survey on-line. The web address (URL) and unique user ID shown below will allow you to take the survey online.

A page of questions you might have about this survey is included along with our answers. If you have more questions, please feel free to contact our Project Manager, Michael Hand. His e-mail address and phone number are at the bottom of the Question & Answer page. If you have misplaced the written questionnaire and would like to receive another, either in English or Spanish, put your name and address on the enclosed postcard and drop it in the mail or contact Michael Hand. We would be happy to send you one.

Thank you in advance for your time. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
