Summary
The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests just got a fresh new plan to protect nature, support wildlife, and balance fun outdoor activities with smart forest use. This updated plan affects local communities, outdoor lovers, and businesses by guiding how the forest is cared for over the next years. It kicks in 30 days after January 10, 2025, setting the stage for a healthier forest and smarter use of its resources.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Plan Guides Recreation and Resource Uses
The Revised Land Management Plan will guide resource management on about four million acres across seven counties, and it explicitly covers recreation, timber harvesting, livestock grazing, and mineral development. These uses are identified as contributing to the quality of life and the economies of surrounding communities.
Wilderness and Wild River Identification
The Revised LMP includes wilderness recommendations and identifies eligible and suitable wild and scenic river segments within the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests. These elements are now part of the plan that will guide future management decisions on these lands.
Nez Perce Tribal Consultation and Treaty
The Forest Service consulted with the Nez Perce Tribe throughout the planning process and states that tribal-related plan direction reflects the tribal trust relationship and ensures the Treaty with the Nez Perce of 1855 is honored.
