FOREST PLAN REVISION
NFMA (National Forest Management Act) requires each National Forest
to
develop a Forest Plan and update or revise it when conditions have
significantly changed, or at least every 15 years. The Forest Plans
for the Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests
are being revised to incorporate new information, current science,
and changed conditions.
INVASIVE PLANTS TREATMENT EIS
The Umatilla National Forest proposes to control, contain, or eradicate
invasive plants on nearly 25,000 acres. These plants have the potential
to displace or alter native plant communities and cause long-lasting
economic and ecological problems within and outside the National
Forests.
ECOSYSTEM AND ROADS ANALYSIS
Ecosystem Analysis at the Watershed Scale is
the process used by the Umatilla National Forest to characterize
the historic and current biotic and abiotic conditions for individual
watersheds. The understanding gained from ecosystem analysis is
critical for helping to sustain the health and resilience of natural
resources administered on behalf of the American people.
Roads Analysis Report - This report provides decision-makers
with critical information to develop road systems that are safe
and responsive to public needs and desires, are affordable and efficiently
managed, have minimal negative ecological effects on the land, and
are in balance with available funding for needed management actions.
