Environmental Analysis and Decision Making

The Forest Service is committed to improving our environmental analysis and decision making (EADM) to improve the condition and productivity of National Forests and Grasslands.

To meet this goal, the agency is reviewing how it operates and seek efficiencies. This is occurring at the Forest, regional and national levels, and will guide improvements for how we comply with laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act.

For more information about EADM, please visit the national EADM website.
