Book excerpt: The National Forests in North Carolina are proposing to revise the land management plan for the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests (hereafter, the Forests). This document describes the draft revised forest plan ("draft plan"), which is the proposal for changes to the 1994 forest plan. The purpose of the draft plan is to have an integrated set of direction to provide for social, economic, and ecological sustainability and multiple uses of the Forest's lands and resources. The revised forest plan will provide guidance for project and activity-level decision making on the Forest for approximately the next 15 years. The proposed plan describes desired ecological, social, and economic conditions of the Forests and provides plan component direction that focuses management activities toward maintaining or achieving those conditions over time. Proposed plan components are designed to provide for the maintenance and restoration (where needed) of the ecological integrity of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and watersheds, to guide the Forests' contribution to social and economic sustainability, and to meet the Forest Service's responsibility to Native American tribes in relation to trust responsibilities and treaty resources. There will be a single revised plan for the Nantahala and Pisgah Forests. When making decisions for the revised plan, an associated Environmental Impact Statement will examine the potential ecological and biological impacts, as well as the economic and social impacts to the local counties, the broader regional level, and the nation.--
