Umpqua National Forest - Welcome!
Rugged Beauty
Nestled on the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains, high Cascades glaciation, whitewater rapids, and explosive geologic events have shaped the landscape of the Umpqua National Forest.
The Umpqua National Forest protects 983,239 acres of forest across Douglas, Lane, and Jackson Counties. The Forest is headquartered in Roseburg and has four ranger districts: Cottage Grove, Diamond Lake, North Umpqua, and Tiller. The Forest is also the home of the Dorena Genetic Resource Center and Wolf Creek Job Corps Center.

Northwest Forest Plan & Amendment
The 1994 Northwest Forest Plan is an overarching land management plan that applies to seventeen national forests and one national scenic area to address impacts to threatened and endangered species while also contributing to social and economic sustainability in the region.
What’s changed? Thirty years later, the landscape within the Northwest Forest Plan area has experienced significant social, economic, and ecological changes - prompting a formal amendment process to improve the management framework to align with these current conditions and challenges. The amendment focuses on five key areas that have been identified as part of this need for change. Learn more and get involved: https://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/r6/nwfp.
