Projects & Plans
Each national forest and
grassland is governed by a management plan in accordance with the
National Forest Management Act (NFMA). These plans set management,
protection, and use goals and guidelines. Monitoring conditions on a forest
or grassland ensures projects are done in accordance with plan direction,
and determines effects that might require a change in management.
Forest Plan RevisionThe forest plan has been revised. Learn more about the issues, management practices, monitoring, and public meetings. Forest MonitoringThe Forest Service monitors conditions on the forest to ensure that site specific projects are being implemented in accordance with Forest Plan direction.

Schedule of Proposed ActionsFour times a year, the forest publishes a schedule of proposed actions (SOPA).

Many of our regulations are explained in the Code of Federal Regulations. Projects are planned to meet objectives of special programs and policies, such as the following:

Freedom of Information ActThe 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. Appeals & LitigationForest Service managers make many resource management decisions, which may be subject to appeal (request to a higher authority for administrative review of a decision). To view our Appeal Responses, please visit the Forest Service Appeal Response page for the Bighorn National Forest.
Pre-decisional ObjectionsProposed Forest Service decisions regarding hazardous fuel reduction projects are subject to a "pre-decisional" review process. In these cases, the public may submit comments on the project for consideration prior to the final decision being signed.
