This section includes forest planning, current projects, information about resource management, and available geospatial data.
Here is how the land and resources management information is organized in this section:
Look here for planning documents that guide management of the national forest. The focus is at a broad scale: regional, forest-wide, or landscape (watershed) level. The Cherokee National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan, forest plan monitoring reports, and other assessments and planning documents are available.
Travel Management
Thank you to all who contributed to the forest-wide road study also known as the Travel Analysis Process. The Forest Service has released all the Travel Analysis Reports that analyze the existing National Forest road system and identifies opportunities to achieve a more ecologically and economically sustainable road system for each National Forest and Grassland.
These reports are part of a nationwide requirement and are not decision documents--instead, they provide an analysis of the road system as it exists today. All future proposed actions and decisions will allow for further oppotunities for public input and engagement at the project-level under National Environmental Policy Act processes.
