Cibola National Forest and Grasslands Plan Revision Website
We are currently re-initiating a process that began in the mid-1990s to revise the current Cibola National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (1985). From 1995 to 1999, the Forest collaborated with the public through meetings, newsletters and public notices and to develop a set of Geographic Area Assessments that describe existing and desired conditions. In 2000, the Plan revision process was postponed due to uncertainty regarding planning regulations and budgets.
In re-initiating plan revision, we decided to have a separate National Grasslands Plan, distinct from the National Forest Plan. Thus, we will first revise a plan for the Grasslands. After we approve the revised Grasslands Plan, we will begin revising the Plan for the mountains districts.
The revised Plans will provide a framework to use when conducting the more detailed and site-specific planning, environmental analysis and public involvement required for all proposed land use activities.
