Planning
This section is for visitors who would like to get an understanding of the big picture. Here you can learn what the Forest Service is doing on local lands, and what guides policy, including presentations and explanations of the Forest Plan, framework setting analyses (such as Watershed analysis), and projects that update the plan.
NFMA (National Forest Management Act) requires each National Forest to develop a Forest Plan and update or revise it when conditions have significantly changed, or at least every 15 years. The Forest Plans for the Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests are being revised to incorporate new information, current science, and changed conditions for the Blue Mountains region.

The Malheur National Forest is using an integrated approach to manage invasive plants, which includes prevention; manual, mechanical, herbicide, biological control and cultural treatments; and restoration work. This work to prevent the expansion of infestations will be implemented under the 2015 decision for the Malheur Site-Specific Invasive Plants Treatment Project and the Forest Plan amended by the Pacific Northwest Region 2005 decision for Preventing and Managing Invasive Plants.
