Wallowa-Whitman National Forest
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 includes a suite of activities to restore forest and watershed resiliency, including: fuels treatments and prescribed burning; and upland and watershed restoration.
Land Management Plan revision for the Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman (excluding Hells Canyon NRA) National Forests, which will provide management direction on approximately 4.9 million acres of public lands.
Bull Run Meadows Restoration Project geotechnical analysis of current subsurface substrates in mine waste piles. Excavation of a trench 8-10 feet deep, 3 feet wide and 12 feet long. Total disturbance will be less than 1/10th acre.
The North Phillips Lake Trail #1608 parallels State Hwy 7 at Deer Creek Bridge. Currently there is no hiker/bike bridge there. The area is near a state right-of-way. dev of a new foot/bike bridge over Deer Creek will eliminate a hazard
A Defensible Fuel Profile Zone (DFPZ) project to reduce the fuel loading in strategic areas that would help in the aid in fire suppression on FS along private boundaries, ridgelines and or road corridors.
Project managers propose the installation of 3 new surface water streamgage stations along Meadow Creek and 20-30 piezometer groundwater wells along the creek's floodplain. Installation is proposed for the summer of 2025.
The purpose of the Project is to conduct restoration management activities to improve forest resiliency and sustainability and improve hydrologic functioning, thereby moving the landscape toward the goals, objectives, and desired future condition(s).
Improve forest resilience, reduce hazardous fuels, enhance native grasslands, improve road access, develop two rock pits, reduce sediment delivery, provide timber products. Requesting EAD under IIJA, comment period per IIJA offered if granted.
The Pacific Northwest Region is collaborating with nine Forests to develop a region-wide project to protect whitebark pine trees (Pinus albicaulis) that have a high level of white pine blister rust resistance.
Redistribute waste rock from dredge mining along 2 miles of the Upper Grande Ronde River and relocate approximately 1 mile of road to improve floodplain conditions.
