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.

This project will utilize more than one native Jeffrey Pine seed source from within it's natural distribution range for reforestation to adjust for projected climate conditions. Project work will occur on approximately 97 acres near Filaree Flat.
