The LFDC NEPA Tracker monitors active NEPA projects across National Forests in Washington, Oregon, California, and Alaska, giving advocates real-time visibility into proposed logging, land management, and restoration activities on public lands.
Projects are updated daily and organized to quickly find new projects and ones currently inviting public participation.
This database contains only the projects that have been published by USFS and that are/were recently in the NEPA analysis page.
Recent policy changes at USFS and the increased use of Categorical Exclusions have drastically reduced the share of USFS projects that get published and/or invite public comment. This means many projects can only be discovered by the public through field monitoring, long after the project has been planned, approved, and contracted.
If your local forests are not yet being tracked, submit feedback using the link above to request the expanded coverage.
There is no 'alert' feature at this time, so check back regularly to learn about new projects and opportunity to comment.
This project proposes to restore a healthy, diverse, and resilient forest ecosystem and create defensible fuel breaks for use during wildfire emergencies through the use of mechanical and non-mechanical thinning and fuels treatments, reforestation, and seeding and planting of native plants.

Fremont-Winema National Forest
Lake of the Woods Fuel Break
Project uses understory thinning, mastication, and prescribed fire to create and maintain fuel breaks and defensible space. Small trees are thinned, slash piled or burned, and fuels reduced through hand/machine piling, pile burning, underburning, and mastication.
There is a need to re-establish the northern boundary of the Buck/Indian cattle allotment to allow better management of the northern section of the allotment.
Working together, Federal, State and Private land managers have the opportunity to reintroduce fire on an interagency landscape in the Paddock Butte area.
The primary purpose of the Paradise Restoration Project is ecosystem restoration. Action is needed to restore healthy forest ecosystems, improve wildlife habitats, and protect life, property, and infrastructure within and adjacent to the project area.
The Forest Service is proposing to implement herbicide treatments for forest re-establishment and trail maintenance to reduce competing vegetation on approximately 43,000 acres of Forest System Lands that have been impacted by recent wildfires.
