Tongass National Forest

Projects and Plans

Management of the Tongass National Forest follows the guidance of the Tongass Land Management Plan, first completed in 1979 and most recently revised in 2008. The plan incorporates an adaptive management strategy, and has been reviewed and amended a number of times over the years. Forest Plan updates reflects changing conditions, information and requirements, to the best provide for long-term resource sustainability as well as the economic and social needs of the public.

Projects are planned, with help from interested citizens, to foster the continued health of the forest and to provide commodities and experiences to people who depend on, live surrounded by, and visit our largest national forest, as well as people throughout the nation.

Proposed projects are listed quarterly by ranger district in which they will take place. Projects in the planning process all have contact people to help you participate if you so wish. Some also post draft documents for review. Please contact the appropriate district office to be added to mailing lists or otherwise involved in their plans.

Once decisions have been made, they are posted. Decisions on appeals of district-level projects are also posted, as are decisions on appeals of forest-level appeals.
