Forest Plan Under Construction  

Refer to this page for the latest and previously released draft plan building blocks.

Public Involvement

Public input is essential and valued in developing the forest plan. We have already received thousands of comments from the public helping us undersand how different people use, depend on and appreciate the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests. Comments are used, along with Forest Service knowledge and best available science, to build a strong plan that is reflective of both community interests and best management practices.

We are not seeking additional comments at this time, but will again during the next formal comment period, when the proposed plan and draft Environmental Impact Statement are released. We expect that comment period to being in Summer 2019. The public will be notified at that time.
