Five-Key Principles of the Northwest Forest PlanAbout the Northwest Forest Plan

Welcome!  In the past, paper orientation notebooks for the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) were prepared and distributed to new regional executive and advisory committee members.  Creating and maintaining these notebooks was labor intensive and expensive. An online version of the orientation notebook was developed to reduce costs and enhance available information. The links below mirror and expand the information originally available in the orientation notebooks.

For ease of reading, the materials linked below may be printed and read off-line as desired. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
