Regional Ecosystem Office (REO) - Northwest Forest Plan
Land Use Allocations: Late-Successional Reserve Work Group
What We Do
The Late-Successional Reserve (LSR) Work Group is an interagency group of resource professionals chartered by the Regional Interagency Executive Committee to conduct reviews of proposed actions in LSRs and LSR Assessments to ensure that these are consistent with the requirements of the Northwest Forest Plan Record of Decision. The work group evaluates proposed actions by using a set of criteria that the field units review in order to determine if their project requires review. Recommendations for each review are compiled by the work group and forwarded onto the Regional Ecosystem Office for final review.
The LSR Work Group frequently visits project sites to discuss proposed actions and strategies for meeting LSR objectives. Review exemptions have been developed for some silvicultural treatments. LSR assessments have been completed for most LSRs. Contact individual National Forests or BLM Districts for copies of the LSR Assessments.
