Idaho Panhandle National Forests
The Forest Service follows NEPA regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Under this rule, Forest Service officials determine which proposed projects are shared for public input.
The agency no longer issues a schedule of proposed actions (SOPA) report. Below is the current list of proposed projects available for review—your opportunity to learn more, share feedback, and stay engaged in decisions that shape the future of our public lands.
Two temporary drill pads would be constructed to delineate a known mineral deposit. Drill pads would be 50' X 50' and would each include a 10'x10'x5' sump. The Auxer Mine portal would also be reestablished to facilitate future underground work.
We propose to utilize blown down and damaged trees in response to substantial mortality and damage to forested vegetation due to a severe wind event near Avery, ID in December 2025.
To reduce the risk of uncharacteristically severe wildfire and influence how wildfire and other disturbances shape the landscape the Forest Service proposes to authorize prescribed burns on up to 10,000 acres over the next 10 years.
This project proposes to implement salvage activities in areas affected by a recent blowdown event. Windthrow resulted in concentrations of downed and damaged trees that present elevated risks related to insect infestation, hazardous fuel loading, and public and firefighter safety.
Reduce hazardous fuels and address the concerns of our communities and partners; the IPNF is considering activities that will create fuel breaks along private land, infrastructure, and egress routes adjacent to priority firesheds.
The project proposes to reduce hazardous fuel loading and the extent of insects and disease through salvage and fuels reduction activities on 560 acres within and adjacent to Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area.
This project will create a fuel break on National Forest lands in Boundary County with the intention to reduce wildfire severity by thinning and burning along roads and powerlines, to help protect communities and create a safer area for firefighters.
The Comprehensive Plan will develop administrative and management objectives and practices and desired conditions for the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail on public lands in Forest Service Regions 1 and Regions 6.
Reduce hazardous fuels through fuels and vegetation treatment in the vicinity of communities and values at risk to move forest health and ecological functions towards desired conditions and objectives identified in the 2015 Idaho Plan.
