Planning

Each National Forest and grassland is governed by a management plan in accordance with the National Forest Management Act. These plans set management, protection and use goals, and guidelines.

Monitoring conditions on a forest or grassland ensures projects are done in accordance with plan direction and determines effects that might require a change in management.
The Klamath National Forest Plan has been in effect since 1995 and has had several amendments made to it since then. Until the plan is revised, it continues to guide the management of the Klamath National Forest.

After nearly 30 years, the Northwest Forest Plan needs to be updated to accommodate changed ecological and social conditions. Learn more and get involved. View the interactive map.
