The Forest Service follows NEPA regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Under this rule, Forest Service officials determine which proposed projects are shared for public input.

The agency no longer issues a schedule of proposed actions (SOPA) report. Below is the current list of proposed projects available for review—your opportunity to learn more, share feedback, and stay engaged in decisions that shape the future of our public lands.

Umatilla National Forest Proposed Projects

To restore resilience in dry upland forests by protecting old trees, reducing surface fuels, reducing overall forest density, and shifting composition from intolerant to fire tolerant species. Improve habitat for huckleberry.

Project is in early developmental stages and was initially identified as potential project area because of forest health issues related to insect and disease. Objective would be to increase forest resilience to large-scale wildfire, insect and diseas

Land Management Plan revision for the Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman (excluding Hells Canyon NRA) National Forests, which will provide management direction on approximately 4.9 million acres of public lands.

In accordance with the National Forest Management Act of 1976, this project proposes to replant trees in areas burned by the 2024 Bone Point Fire, where stocking levels have fallen below Umatilla National Forest Plan requirements.

Cancelled. Authorized under Forestwide Aquatic Restoration EA (https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=47428)

The proposed action is to plant ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, western larch, and western white pine seedlings by hand on 107 acres of the Double Snag fire burn scar. This will be non-RHCA planting.

The Ellis Project is being developed to improve wildlife habitat, restore resiliency against insect/disease and wildfire, protect values at risk, provide timber products, and enhance public and traditional land uses.

Aquatic restoration on public and private lands within the boundary of the UNF and/or adjacent lands in boundary-spanning 5th HUC watersheds where restoration activities would benefit or help achieve Forest Service aquatic restoration goals.

Vegetation management project for stand structure and composition, socioeconmics by providing timber products, and first foods.

Install 2000 gallon holding tank and 425 feet of waterline attached to private well to gravity feed 3 private cabins adjacent to FS Lands.

The Pacific Northwest Region is collaborating with nine Forests to develop a region-wide project to protect whitebark pine trees (Pinus albicaulis) that have a high level of white pine blister rust resistance.

Commercial thinning, noncommercial thinning, and fuels reduction to create healthy and resilient stands.

Activities are planned to correct areas compromised by 2020 flood event, 2022 post-Green Ridge fire event and identified restoration needs. Activities include bank stabilization, culvert and road repair under the Forestwide Aquatics EA (47428).

Improve forest health and resilience to insects, diseases, and wildfire by managing vegetation densities, forest structures, and species compositions.
