Olympic National Forest to Host Public Meeting on Proposed Amendment for Northwest Forest Plan
OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 3, 2024—The Olympic National Forest is hosting a community meeting to share information about proposed changes to the Northwest Forest Plan.
The public is invited to join and learn more about the Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
Meeting Details
* When: Tuesday January 14, 2025
* Where: Olympic National Forest Supervisor’s Office, 1835 Black Lake Blvd SW, Olympia, WA 98512
* Time: 5:30-7:00 PM, with a presentation starting at 5:45 PM
The Northwest Forest Plan was created in 1994 to conserve habitat for wildlife and forests while supporting local communities. After nearly 30 years, the Forest Service is amending the
plan to address today’s challenges, including wildfire risks and economic needs.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) explains these proposed changes and is open for public comment until March 17, 2025. Some of the key focuses of the updated plan include:
* Reducing wildfire risks to communities and forests.
* Supporting local economies with sustainable timber and restoration work.
* Adapting to a changing climate to increase resiliency to extreme weather events, like droughts and wildfire.
* Honoring trust responsibilities to tribal governments and communities by involving them in land management planning and implementing forest management practices.
At the meeting, you can:
* Talk directly with Forest Service staff and experts who worked on the plan.
* Look at detailed maps of the area and proposed updates.
* Pick up easy-to-understand fact sheets to take home.
* Learn how to share your thoughts during the public comment period.
Why Your Voice Matters
Public input helps shape the final version of the plan. This is your chance to share concerns, ask questions, and help ensure the plan reflects community priorities.
