Land & Resources Management

This area of our website includes forest planning, current and previous (archived) projects, information about resource management, and available geospatial data.

Forest Planning

This section is for visitors who would like to get an understanding of the big picture. Here you can learn what the Forest Service is doing on local lands, and what guides policy, including presentations and explanations of the Forest Plan, framework setting analyses (such as Watershed analysis), and projects that update the plan.

The focus is at a broad scale: regional, forest-wide, or landscape (watershed) level. The Deschutes & Ochoco National Forest Plans, forest plan monitoring reports, and other assessments and planning documents are available.
