This plan will shape management decisions for the next 15–20 years, including how access, grazing, timber, restoration, and recreation are handled across our public lands.
Now is the time for Eastern Oregon residents to review what’s being proposed and begin preparing meaningful, respectful comments to help shape the final version of this plan. We’ll be sharing tools, guidance, and local events to support public involvement in the coming days.
Let’s work together to ensure the future of these forests reflects the needs, voices, and values of the people who live and work here.
