can maintain infrastructure, improve the health of watersheds and 
ecosystems, protect communities, and strengthen local economies. The 
agenda for the December 8th meeting of the Cherokee National Forest RAC 
will focus on review and consideration of any proposed projects. RAC 
meetings are open to the public.
