Planning is an important part of stewarding the National Forest System. Planning is done at a variety of levels, from local to national and in between. Planning helps the Forest Service stewards maintain and improve the health, diversity, and productivity of the national forests for present and future generations. It also helps the Forest Service stewards meet expectations and mandates given to them by Congress and the Executive Branch.

Forest Plan Assessment
In April of 2018, the Wayne National Forest began a forest plan assessment as part of a process to revise the 2006 forest plan. The forest supervisor announced on January 27, 2021, that the Wayne National Forest will not be revising its forest plan at this time. However, the work completed for the assessment is being used for projects and initiatives across the national forest.
