Coronado National Forest

Forest Planning

The current Coronado National Forest Plan is undergoing revision. Public participation in the revision process is welcome. Please visit our Plan Revision website for complete information.

Fire Management

FThe Coronado National Forest amended its 1986 Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) with a proposed Wildland Fire Amendment.

The purpose of the Wildland Fire Amendment was to update the LRMP's existing wildland fire management direction to comply with the 2001 Federal Wildland Fire Management policy (also know as the Federal Fire Policy).

The Federal Fire Policy recognizes the essential role of fire in maintaining natural systems and allows managers a broader range of options when responding to wildland fires.

Changes were made to the Forest-wide Goals, Standards and Guidelines in the LRMP to integrate the Federal Fire policy. These changes were documented at the Wildland Fire Amendment Home Page.

Forest Management

Mid-level planning documents, including landscape or watershed assessments and roads analysis, are an intermediate planning step between the Forest Planning (programmatic) level and project planning. Recommended management actions are the primary result of assessments.

Range Management

Livestock grazing is an important activity on the Coronado National Forest, with over 35,000 head of cattle permitted on almost 200 allotments. Long term management of the allotments is directed by the Coronado National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) and individual Allotment Management Plans (AMPs).

Environmental Management

Other environmental documents may be found here, including environmental assessments and information about the scenic management system.

Freedom of Information Act

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides that any person has the right to request federal agency records and obtain copies of records unless they are protected from disclosure under exemptions in the law.
