The Forest Service celebrated it's Centennial Anniversary on July 1, 2005. In the late 1890s Congress set aside selected forests and grasslands for the protection of watersheds for communities and so that the land would be managed in perpetuity for multiple uses. One of the methods used to accomplish this work is to identify specific projects that will benefit the ecology of the land and meet the needs of the people living nearby, or utilizing it for recreation or livelihood.

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.
