Forest Plan Revision

The Forest Land and Resource Management Plan provides the underlying rules and guidelines for all work completed in the forest.

We are revising the Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (aka the Forest Plan). We invite you to work with us to develop a new plan that promotes a healthy, diverse, and productive Lincoln National Forest. 

Public involvement is encouraged throughout the process through formal 'scoping' and 'comment' periods along with other avenues to be determined. 

Where are we in the process?
