1986 Land and Resource Management Plan
The stewardship of managing National Forests are guided through big picture documents called Land and Resource Management Plans or commonly forest plans. The Manti-La Sal National Forest is currently managed through the amended forest plan found here, which was written and adopted in 1986. Below you will find all chapters and appendices related to the original forest plan as well as amendments to the plan that have been adopted since 1986. You may note the current forest plan is over thirty years old. Much has changed regarding resource management of the National Forests in the past thirty years, so we are currently in the process of revising the forest plan under the direction of the 2012 Planning Rule to incorporate changed conditions, best available science, and new public issues. More infomation about the forest plan revision process is available here.
