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.
