Colville and Okanogan-Wenatchee Forest Plan Revision

The Colville and the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forests are revising their Forest Plans. These plans are near the end of their intended 10-15-year life cycle. (The Colville Forest Plan was completed in 1988, the Okanogan in 1989, and the Wenatchee in 1990.). The plans will be revised to reflect resource and social changes on all three Forests, as well as new scientific information
The two national forests released a plan revision proposed action on June 30, 2011, which initiates a 60-day comment period that ends on August 29, 2011.

The Proposed Action is the first formal step to developing a draft revised forest plan and the draft environmental impact statement.
We invite you to participate in reviewing the Proposed Action Public workshops are being planned for mid-July through mid- August.
The first public meetings have been scheduled.
