A draft Environmental
Impact Statement (DEIS) for an amendment to the land
management plans within the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) area was
released late last year. The Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) is a
landscape approach to federal land management designed to protect
threatened and endangered species while also contributing to
social and economic sustainability in the region.
The proposed updates respond to significant shifts in
wildfire risk, forest health, and climate conditions that impact
landscape resilience and community wellbeing and propose four
alternatives for consideration. Implementation is expected to
begin March 2026.
A briefing has been scheduled with Regional Foresters,
specifically for County Commissioners and County
Supervisors. Members of the Northwest Forest Plan team will
join to offer an update on the proposed amendment and take
questions.
