Tahoe National Forest 1990 Land & Resource Management Plan
The Tahoe National Forest is guided by a land management plan that work as roadmaps to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of national forests and grasslands. Forest Service land management plans are revised to meet current and future needs while establishing ways to sustain and restore ecosystems and watersheds, protect wildlife, respond to a changing climate, and connect people to public lands. The Forest Service recognizes the rich history and culture of the land, and acknowledges that connection, access, and interaction are critical. As such, land management planning is important to tribal organizations, communities, and people. Learn more about land management plans.
The Forest Plan has been amended with the following significant amendments:
The Herger-Feinstein Quincy Library Group

On the Tahoe, these special management activities occur only on the Sierraville Ranger District.
The Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment
This site contains information on the process and progress of amending the land management plans of all national forests in the Sierra Nevada. The final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) was released on January 21, 2004.
