Kaibab Forest Plan Revision

Thank you for visiting the Kaibab National Forest's Plan Revision website.

The current Kaibab National Forest Plan was implemented in 1987. In the years since then, many social and resource conditions changed, scientific information improved, and land management policies evolved. Though the plan was amended many times, some changes could not be addressed quickly or effectively.

What Does Plan Revision Mean?

The current Kaibab Plan still provides a solid foundation for forest management. So, instead of starting over from scratch, planners will identify and retain parts of the existing plan that continue to work. New information will be incorporated. Existing policy that isn't working will be eliminated. We expect the initial plan revision to take approximately two years.

Public Participation Welcome!

Public participation helps promote better decisions and greater understanding of those decisions. We are currently formulating how to work actively with the public during the revision process. Please let us know your ideas of how you would like to interact with our planning team, both now and over the course of the process.

Background

The National Forest Management Act (NFMA) of 1976 required every national forest to develop a plan. These plans provide broad direction for managing national forests for the American people. The plans are programmatic in nature, meaning they cover a large geographic area and the direction is broad in scope. The plan must be consistent with environmental laws and regulations such as the Endangered Species Act and Clean Water Act. More
