Vision
We envision the Lincoln Community Forest and Marengo River within as a community asset that is rigorously managed throughout to ensure a healthy, sustainable and scenic forest, to protect its natural and historic character, that provides in the South Unit a small network of primitive trails where the visitor general public can enjoy nature-based recreation and education, and that preserves the North Unit in a largely undeveloped state.

Support the management of the Lincoln Community Forest through economically and ecologically sustainable forest management practices;
Develop amenities and programs that will support a wide range of nature-based recreational and educational opportunities;
