4FRI is a large-scale restoration and hazardous fuels reduction project located across four forests in Arizona. 

Land Management Plans

Per the National Forest Management Act (NFMA),  each forest in the Southwestern Region has developed a Land Management Plan (or "forest plan"). These plans determine the management direction and guidance for each national forest and go through a revision process every 10 years.

Please visit individual forest websites for more information on their forest plans:
