The purpose of annual monitoring and evaluation reports is to inform
the Forest leadership team, other federal, state, and local agencies, Indian
tribes, and the public of the progress the
Lincoln
National Forest has made toward
Forest Plan implementation and ecosystem management. Most
reports are a continuation of the prior years report, and include
past and present monitoring activities. They also provide
summaries from other Forest reports. If additional
information is needed, please contact the Forest at 434-7200 or e-mail
jbaca@fs.fed.us .

Before work is done on
the ground, analysis must be completed and these analyses will be
presented in 3 basic forms; Categorical Exclusion, Environmental
Analysis, and/or Environmental Impact Study. The umbrella that
all of these analyses are done under is commonly referred to as the
NEPA process (defined). The NEPA CALENDAR or schedule of
projects listed below will help...

National Forest
Management Act of 1976 was the beginning of a step by step process
of laying out goals and objectives for the future management of National Forest Service
lands. The results of this are the Forest Plan found below.
Two formats have
been created for accessing the Forest Plan electronically on the
internet.
UNAMENDED FORMAT - The unamended format is a scanned version
of the original documents as it was published in 1987.
This format also contains separately numbered replacement
pages representing the amendments, corrections, and errata that have
been generated since 1987. It
also contains the individual decision document that established each
amendment. They appear as separate pages to allow a comparison
between the original Plan and amended language.
AMENDED FORMAT
– This format replaces each original Plan page with replacement
pages containing the amended language, corrections, or other minor
errata identified over the years since the Plan became effective.
This version makes electronic searches for specific
information easier by pointing to current management direction,
standards and/or guidelines affected by the amendment, without
needing to review numerous separate document.
Warning:
During the conversion from a paper document to an electronic
format, optical character recognition software may have introduced
undetected errors into the body of the text.
The original paper version and individual amendments and
corrections take precedence in resolving conflicts.
