Downloading and Using 2005 Forest Plan Documents

There are two electronic versions of the Plan documents available, and you may install either or both of them, depending on your computer's operating system.

Socioeconomic Assessment

Species Viability Evaluation

GeoBooks

The White Mountain National Forest GeoBooks are a new medium for publishing planning information. They contain all the information in the paper version, but in a unique electronic format that provides great flexibility in reading text and particularly in viewing maps. Be sure to read the online "Help" to learn how to navigate through the "book" and how to use the maps to best advantage. There are now three GeoBooks, and any or all may be installed. There is the Land and Resource Management Plan (the Forest Plan), which includes the Record of Decision, there is the Final Environmental Impact Statement, which includes the Executive Summary, and there is a new Map Book, containing the maps used in the other documents as well as additional material.

The GeoBooks can be used only with recent Windows operating systems. Systems must meet the following requirements: Windows 95/98/NT/XP (or higher); a monitor with a minimum 800 X 600 screen resolution. Minimum recommended: Pentium 100 CPU, 32 MB RAM.

To install the White Mountain National Forest GeoBooks:

Ensure you do not already have a GeoBook Reader installed (for example, if you installed the draft documents). You must uninstall this as the new GeoBooks use an updated Reader.

Download and open one of the "GeoBook" .zip filesand open its folder (you must install the GeoBooks on your C-Drive for them to work properly. You may select a location, but by default, they will be installed in a new folder called "Sanborn" in your Program Files folder.)

Double-click the "setup.exe" file. The program will first install the Reader, then the GeoBook you have selected.

To install another GeoBook, download it and repeat Step 3. This time, however, the program will detect that the correct version of the Reader has been installed, and will just install the additional GeoBook: you only need one Reader.

NOTE: You will also need Adobe Reader (a free download from Adobe.com) installed on your computer as many of the tables used are PDF (Portable Document Format) files

Also Note: We have updated the Plan GeoBook to reflect the 6/26/09 administrative corrections. If you already have the Plan GeoBook, download the Documents.zip file, unzip it, and replace the Documents folder in your GeoBook with the new one.

PDF Files

If you cannot install the GeoBooks, or if you wish to view the Plan documents in the same form as the printed version, a complete set of PDF (Portable Document Format) files is also available. These differ from the printed version of the documents in that they are in full color. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the PDF files.
