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.

Colville National Forest
Quartz
Up to 2,900 acres of forest health treatments, about 4 miles of hand and machine fireline to support prescribed fire underburning, about 3 miles of temporary road access to treatment units, reconstruction of about 5 miles of existing non-system road templates (all 8 miles would be decommissioned).
Create a range of forest structural stages that supports resilience and is compatible with characteristic disturbance processes (wildland fire, insects and diseases), and supports aquatic and terrestrial habitat conditions and associated species.
This project seeks to improve forest health and diversity in plantations. In addition, this project seeks to reduce excessive fuel loading primarily along forest roads. Approximately 4,000 acres may be proposed for vegetation and fuels treatments.
