Objection Period for Undesirable Plant Management Project Begins August 8, 2024

The Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands (Nebraska) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) and draft record of decision (DROD) for the Undesirable Plant Management Project.

It updates and enhances the Nebraska's existing guidance.

The objection period begins August 8th and continues for 45 days, ending on September 23rd, 2024. Those who have previously provided comments may submit objections by visiting the project website (https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=62500) and selecting the tab “Comment/Object on Project” of the right side of the page.
