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.

Deschutes National Forest
Cougar Rock Restoration Project
The project proposes to maintain and restore resiliency and forest health and to address the potential risk of large-scale high severity wildfires. Proposed actions include thinning, mowing and prescribed burning on up to 2,800 acres.
Crate Vegetation Management Project and Site-Specific Forest Plan Amendment
Vegetation management on approximately 18,168 acres to move forest conditions toward historic range of variability and improve forest resilience to disturbance to reduce the likelihood of uncharacteristic large-scale loss of forest habitat.

Green Ridge Landscape Restoration
The project would maintain and restore forest conditions closer to the historic range of variability and contribute to the restoration of ecosystem process and function in the planning area. Timber products are an outcome of restoration activities.
The MODA Active Management Project proposes dry forest restoration techniques in order to improve and maintain the forested ecosystem of of the Moore Creek and Davis Creek Subwatersheds on the Crescent Ranger District.
Moving the area toward a more resilient landscape, providing a diversity of habitats, & reducing hazardous fuels. Approximately 14,750 acres of commercial thinning, for a total of 22,000 acres proposed for thinning, mowing, and/or underburning.
