Sierra National Forest Plan Revision
A national forest land management plan, also called a forest plan, is the principal document that guides decisions made by Forest Service managers.
The plans are developed through extensive analysis using a collaborative and science-based approach and with public input. The Forest Service is required by law to manage the national forests and grasslands for the multiple use and sustained yield of products and services, including outdoor recreation, range, timber, watershed, wildlife and fish, and wilderness.
Planning Documents & Documentation
Please see the schedule of proposed actions. The schedule provides a name that you can contact to be placed on the mailing list to receive documents for specific projects. The forest does not maintain a general mailing list for individuals to receive all planning documents. You must contact the specific project coordinator to be placed on a mailing list.
Continued planning occurs so that the Forest Plan remains a dynamic and responsible tool for managing the Forest's land and resources in a changing social and economic climate.
These lists consist of rare plants and animals which are given special management consideration to ensure their continued viability on the national forests. Species on the sensitive species list are considered sensitive for every forest where they occur in the Region.
The Willow Creek watershed is part of the Sierra National Forest, Bass Lake Ranger District (a sub-watershed of the Upper San Joaquin River Watershed that drains into Bass Lake and Willow Creek.) The Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (1991) is the foundational direction for our management activities. View the Willow Creek Planning Collaborative notes.
The Dinkey Collaborative is a group of stakeholders representing diverse public interests and California Native American Tribes, who are working with the U.S. Forest Service and other public agencies to implement the federal Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program on the Dinkey Landscape, Sierra National Forest, California.
