Clearwater National Forest Resources and Programs

WATERSHED RESTORATION
Watershed restoration has become a high priority on the Forest. Current efforts involve two main components: road decommissioning and aquatic passage improvement. Details along with Power Point presentations can be seen on our Watershed Restoration site.

NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO RESOURCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The North Central Idaho Resource Advisory Committees (RAC) was established under
by the President on October 30, 2000. The committees’ duties include reviewing proposed forest management projects in accordance with the Act and make recommendations to the Forest Service, coordinating with land management agency officials, and providing opportunities for interested parties to participate in the project development process

MONITORING & EVALUATION REPORT
Monitoring is a key part of the Forest Plan implementation. The 2009 Monitoring Report (2.1mb .pdf) highlights Clearwater NF monitoring activities for Fiscal Year 2009 (October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008) and meets the intent of the Forest Plan (Chapter IV) and 36 CFR 219. It presents an evaluation of our management strategies to see if we are meeting the goals set forth in the Forest Plan. The information gained from monitoring helps us determine what is working and what is not. We can then make adjustments to the Forest Plan when, or if, necessary.

The Wilderness Information Network provides information about the National Wilderness Preservation System in the United States and features information on each designated wilderness, wilderness curriculum, current issues, maps and quotes. This web site is a joint project of the US Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and US Fish and Wildlife Service which provides information about wilderness to the public and managers.
