LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLANNING
The Forest Land and Resource Management Plan

INTRODUCTION

The Fremont and Winema National Forests are managed under the guidance of Land and Resource Management Plans. The Fremont Plan was published in 1989 and the Winema Plan was published in 1990. The plans have each been amended several times. Both Forests are scheduled to begin the Forest Plan revision process in 2007. That process will result in a single plan that covers both forests.

Date Signed: April 20, 2006
This non-significant, site-specific amendment to the Fremont National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) authorizes reduction of cover and habitat effectiveness across the Chewaucan Watershed below Forest Plan standards and guidelines.
