The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests contain habitats essential for a wide variety of species and serves critical headwaters of the Clearwater River. The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests also provide opportunities for recreation, timber harvesting, livestock grazing, and mineral development that contribute to the quality of life and economies of the surrounding communities. The Revised LMP was shaped by the best available scientific information, current laws, and public, governmental, and tribal input. It was developed pursuant to the 2012 Forest Service Planning Rule (36 CFR 219) and will replace the current Forest Plans that were released in 1987. The Revised LMP includes desired conditions, objectives, standards, guidelines, management approaches, management area allocations, and land suitability for project and activity decision-making, which will guide resource management activities on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests. It also includes wilderness recommendations and identifies eligible and suitable wild and scenic river segments. The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests initiated LMP revision in 2013 and engaged with the public and tribal, federal, state, and local governments. The Forests consulted with the Nez Perce Tribe during the planning process, ensuring tribal-related plan direction accurately reflects the Nez PerceClearwater National Forests’ tribal trust relationship and ensures that the Treaty with the Nez Perce of 1855 is honored. Between 2012 and 2020, the Nez PerceClearwater National Forests conducted 26 formal public comment and informal public feedback opportunities. The Forests received and analyzed more than 33,000 public comments. Hundreds of people attended 45 inperson and virtual public meetings, open houses, and webinars. A 90-day public comment period on the draft LMP and associated draft EIS was initiated on December 20, 2019, and subsequently extended 30 days. The Forests used these comments to inform and the preferred alternative for the FEIS and Revised Plan. A draft ROD, Revised LMP, and FEIS were released on November 28, 2023, initiating a 60day objection filing period that closed January 29, 2024. The Forest Service received approximately 275 eligible objections to the draft ROD and 5 objections filed by 13 individuals and organizations to the list of species of conservation concern.
