Managing the use of the natural resources in our national forests takes a lot of planning. We put a great deal of effort to make sure we meet the letter and intent of the laws that guide our planning activities. We also give you the opportunity to participate in the planning process through public and working meetings for our project plans.
If you would like to receive information when we start a new project, contact our district offices to request your name be added to their mailing list.
The Forest Service is assessing watersheds as a way to systematically analyze ecosystem conditions. This will help us plan projects in the field that will carry out the direction provided by our Forest Land and Resource Management Plan.
This page is kept online to provide historical information about the initial work done that lead to the development of an ecological classification system (ECS) for the Oconee National Forest. The ECS was then used to develop the Oconee Forest Health & Wildlife Habitat Improvement Project.
