This dataset depicts the land allocations created by the Northwest Forest Plan Record of Decision (NwFP). It includes land allocations identified in the Northwest Forest Plan. This is an interagency product and should be regarded as the main dataset for these land allocations. The Northwest Forest Plan encompasses 24 million acres of federal land managed by the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service in western Washington, Oregon, and northwest California within the range of the northern spotted owl. The Plan's objectives are threefold: * Protecting and enhancing habitat for mature and old-growth forests and related species. * Restoring and maintaining the ecological integrity of watersheds and aquatic ecosystems. * Producing a predictable level of timber sales, special forest products, livestock grazing, minerals and recreational opportunities, as well as maintaining the stability of rural communities and economies.
