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.
The project is designed to increase community/infrastructure protection, improve wildfire containment opportunities, and improve vegetation resilience to environmental stressors. A notice of Emergency Situation Determination approval has been posted. Comments will be accepted from June 24-30, 2026.
The Pacific Northwest Region is collaborating with nine Forests to develop a region-wide project to protect whitebark pine trees (Pinus albicaulis) that have a high level of white pine blister rust resistance.

3 Fires Reforestation Initiative
The Forest experienced 3 very large wildfires in 2024 which require reforestation though planting native fire-adapted tree species where regeneration is unlikely. Plantings would generally take place in areas that had greater than 75% mortality.
The Lookout Mountain Ranger District will reduce roadside hazards along approximately 21.7 miles open roads within the Wiley Flat wildfire area through commercial salvage. After further analysis, 2.6 more miles of roadside treatment were added.

Manzana Creek Watershed Sediment Reduction Project
Fire and subsequent impacts from flooding and runoff have damaged existing drainage features. The Manzana Creek Watershed Sediment Reduction Project proposes to improve erosion control through erosion prevention treatments along several roads in the
