Planning Process and Timeline

Background of the Forest Plan Revision Process

The Plan Revision Team began a process to revise the Forest Plan for the Coronado National Forest in April 2006. Their work began with drafting preliminary planning documents - the Social and Econoimic Sustainability Report, the Ecological Sustainability Report, and the Comprehensive Evaluation Report (CER). The CER summarizes the existing conditions, trends, and risks to sustainability that would indicate where the plan did not provide adequate guidance for the present and future management of the Forest. The CER also describes changes needed to bring the 20-year old management plan up-to-date. The reports were later supplemented to meet requirements of the Analysis of the Management Situation (AMS), a component of the revision process specified under the 1982 planning rule provisions.

Current Status of the Forest Plan Revision Process

Using information gained from public collaboration and the needs for change identified in the CER, the Plan Revision Team has been developing draft plan components to guide management of forest resources on the Coronado for the next 10 to 15 years. This initial working draft of the revised Forest Plan will be available for review and public input in March 2010.

The following timeline identifies estimated completion dates of important phases throughout the Revision process, as well as opportunities for future public collaboration and involvement.
