ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) — U.S. Forest Service officials say the impact of a possible Siskiyou Crest National Monument designation on a proposed Mount Ashland ski area expansion is unclear.
The Ashland-based Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center wants 600,000 acres of mountainous land south and west of Ashland to be designated as a national monument. The proposal has drawn both supporters and opponents.
In 2010, an Interior Department memo named the area as one of more than a dozen potential national monument sites.
