Preliminary Draft Proposed Plan Development

Since July 2017, the Carson NF has worked with the public and our Government Working Group to refine the Preliminary Draft Proposed Plan and alternatives. A Draft Proposed Land Management Plan and updated alternatives based on that work are now available. The draft plan and alternatives include all maps, timber suitability, and the monitoring plan can be reviewed.

The previous, preliminary versions from July 2017 and December 2017 will remain here for reference.

Standards and Guidelines describe the guardrails that keep you on the road. These are the rules that you must follow.

Management Approaches describe the toolbox you have to make sure you get to your destination. They are optional to use, but can help along the way.
