Sedona AZ (June 1, 2010) – The Coconino National Forest is seeking input on needs for change that are to be the focus of its Plan Revision efforts. According to the National Forest Management Act, Forest Plans are to be revised on a 10 to 15 year cycle.
Social and economic conditions have changed since the Coconino National Forest’s land and resource management plan (Forest Plan or Plan) was developed in 1987, and it is necessary to provide new management direction that balances current social, economic, and ecological demands on forest resources, so that the resources are maintained into the future. A recently completed Analysis of the Management Situation (AMS) report identifies needs for change in the Forest Plan direction and published a notice of intent (NOI) to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) in the Federal Register.
These and other documents are available on the Forest’s website www.fs.fed.us/r3/coconino/projects/plan-revision/index.shtml.
