Stanislaus National Forest
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.
The Groveland Ranger District Office will receive necessary repairs and multiple defunct, unutilized buildings on the Groveland and Summit Ranger Districts will be demolished and/or removed from Forest Service lands.
This proposal aims to improve trails throughout the non-motorized portion of the Arnold Avery Interface to better meet the recreational needs of the surrounding communities and address trails causing resource damage.
The Boggy Meadow Restoration Project aims to repair damage to Boggy Meadow from past wildfires and other uses, and to restore wet meadow hydrology, habitat, and ecosystem resilience.
Restore user-created OHV routes at Sourgrass Jeep Trail (5N02R) and along Highland Lakes Rd (8N01) to reduce erosion and protect Mokelumne River corridor and amphibian habitat https://usfs-public.box.com/s/7wj7uhx5hhyzhyq0h08wmtjhxoarffls
The purpose of this project is to provide legal access through a special use permit with terms, conditions, and stipulations for the operation, maintenance and modernization of snow survey infrastructure.
The McKays Strategic Fuelbreak Project includes hazardous fuels reduction treatments which vary across 3 treatment types: biomass removal, mastication, mechanical thinning of dead and dying trees, prescribed fire and hazard tree mitigation.
This project aims to restore ecosystem health and resilience to wildfire, insect and disease, and drought through forest thinning, fuels reduction and a suite of watershed improvement actions.
Pinecrest Management Direction Forest Plan Amendment: Community Center Zoning Change (to Commercial) & SUP Issuance (for commercial use of community center.
Monitoring throughout the SERAL 2.0 treatment areas that measure streamflow, snow depth, and soil moisture will lead to better understanding of ecohydrological impacts of watershed restoration treatments.
Increase landscape resilience to natural disturbances, provide economic opportunities to local communities, and reduce the spread of invasive non-native plants.
Hazard tree felling and removal is proposed to reduce safety risk to the public, firefighters, and FS personnel along portions of certain roads, trailheads and facilities across the Stanislaus National Forest.
User created trails, and other unauthorized uses have resulted in resource damage around the communities of Arnold and Avery. This project aims to reverse and prevent further resource damage.
