Participate in the Lakes Basin Special Study!

Lakes Basin Special Study (LABSS): MLTPA is working with the Town of Mammoth Lakes, the Inyo National Forest, and Friends of the Inyo to complete recreation and mobility planning in the Mammoth Lakes Basin. The effort will be similar to the Sherwins Working Group process, and we really need your input! Here's how you can participate:

1. Click here (or on the image above) to go to the LABSS project page to visit the research library and stay abreast of the three collaborative public meetings scheduled for this fall.

2. Become a fan of the LABSS Facebook page.

3. Fill out an online recreation survey through the LABBS blog: http://labss.wordpress.com/.

4. Take the recreation survey by talking with a Friends of the Inyo volunteer; they'll be stationed all around the Lakes Basin through September 2010.

5. Sign up for the LABSS mailing list by sending an e-mail to .

Mammoth Lakes Summer of Stewardship 2010: Event #4 at Convict Lake, September 11!

The Summer of Stewardship is here!

Want to get involved in local trails planning, building, and stewardship? You're in luck! Check out the programs below and contact us at to find out how you can participate, or sign up for our e-newsletter in the gray box to the left.

Mammoth "M" Bike Rack Program: This summer, local retailers will host installations of the prototype "M"-shaped bike racks made possible by Measure R. This pilot program is looking for participating businesses and community feedback; send us an e-mail at if you're interested in participating, or just stay tuned for where you can check one out to give us your two cents.

SHARP Trails Technical Committee: This summer, the community will begin turning the recommendations put forth by the Sherwins Working Group in SHARP, the Sherwins Area Recreation Plan, into detailed project proposals that will be submitted to the Inyo National Forest for consideration and environmental review. Work will include design of a brand-new staging area, trail alignments, and more! Be part of the future of SHARP -- an effort so groundbreaking, it was recognized by the Far West Ski Association with the 2010 Jordan-Reily Award! For more info, shoot us an e-mail at .
