How to Shape Your National Forests:
Every national forest runs on a management plan, and the Forest Service genuinely wants your input on them. We made this quick explainer so you know how to actually weigh in. Boring-sounding, but this is how the forests get decided.
Each National Forest and Grassland in the National Forest System operates under management identified in a Forest Plan. Over the years these plans are updated in a process known as Forest Planning.
That’s where you come in! The Forest Service needs the public’s help in deciding what changes need to made in a given forest. Updating Forest Plans serves as an opportunity to look at what is working and what may not be working.
We can change management direction, prioritize certain things over other things, etc., but we need your help. Join this conversation and have a say in the management of your national forests.
