Forest Planning and ProjectsDecisions for managing your national forests are made at two levels: programmatic and project. How we move from the Forest Plan to projects is a process the Daniel Boone calls landscape analysis.
Long-range forest plans provide broad, general management direction similar to a county land use plan. The Landscape Analysis bridges the gap between the Forest Plan and project proposals, focusing Forest Plan direction to a particular landscape or watershed. Before projects can be implemented, site-specific project planning is conducted, consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Both decision levels and landscape analyses provide opportunities for input from citizens and local communities. Plans and projects are monitored and evaluated to verify that results are as predicted or future management can be adapted when we are not getting the predicted results, or new scientific information becomes available.
