Ecological Restoration Implementation Plan

In March 2011 the Pacific Southwest Region of the US Forest Service released a statement of its Leadership Intent for Ecological Restoration, which laid out the Region's guiding vision and goals for its stewardship of wildland and forests for the next 15-20 years. This plan reflects the Regional leadership's current thinking on how the Leadership Intent will be implemented.

Decision on Motorized Travel Management Plan

This decision is specifically related to off highway vehicle (OHV) use across the 1.7 million acres of the Modoc National Forest. Once implemented, the designation will change from designated-open to designated-closed to cross country travel.
