Forest Supervisor Scott Armentrout’s decision sets the stage for the Forest Service’s acquisition of 680 acres owned by Skyline Ranch Trust, Alta Lakes, and the Trust for Public Land, while offering those parties 301 acres in four parcels of National Forest land. TPL’s decision to relinquish its claims to a total of 180 acres near and within Lizard Head Wilderness helped seal the deal.
