Tongass National Forest

Projects and Plans

Management of the Tongass National Forest take place under the guidance of the Tongass Land Management Plan, first completed in 1979, revised in 1997, clarified and amended since then, and supplemented in 2003 with a wilderness evaluation.

Projects are planned, with help from interested citizens, to foster the continued health of the forest and to provide commodities and experiences to people who depend on, live surrounded by, and visit our largest national forest, as well as people throughout the nation.

Proposed projects are listed quarterly by ranger district in which they will take place. Projects in the planning process all have contact people to help you participate if you so wish. Some also post draft documents for review. Please contact the appropriate district office to be added to mailing lists or otherwise involved in their plans.

Once decisions have been made, they are posted. Decisions on appeals of district-level projects are also posted, as are decisions on appeals of forest-level appeals.
