address desired vegetation-management conditions and develop a shared decision-making process for resource management on the CNF within the LLBO Reservation. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between the LLBO and CNF in October 2019 that establishes
a framework to allow the Band and the Forest to collaboratively advance shared priorities, coordinate investments, and implement projects on a landscape scale across shared boundaries.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif; color:#555555"><span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)"> </span></span></p>
