Last week, Ed Armenta, the Inyo National Forest Supervisor, made the announcement that Lesley Yen has been chosen to serve as Acting Deputy District Ranger for the Mono Lake and Mammoth Ranger Districts—which includes the Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area. This position has been vacant since the December departure of long-standing Deputy District Ranger Mike Schlafmann.

Before this appointment, Lesley served as a natural resources specialist at the White Mountain District of the Inyo National Forest.  You can read more about her impressive career in the recent Sierra Wave article.

Here at the Mono Lake Committee we’re happy to welcome Lesley to Lee Vining and look forward to working with her on a broad range of issues within the Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area.
