  • Chapter 3. Management Areas
    Chapter 3. Management Areas Introduction to Management Areas Management areas are areas that have similar management intent and a common management strategy that are more specific than forestwide guidance provided in Chapter 2. This direction does not substitute for or repeat forestwide direction, but rather provides additional direction for the applicable area. In the event that a plan decision in this section and the forestwide component in another section conflict, the more restrictive plan decision generally prevails. A project or activity-level evaluation, however, may be required to resolve the conflict; generally, however, the more restrictive plan decision prevails. Some management areas are special areas that have been designated by Congress or an office of the Executive Branch. They are managed to protect the special features or character for which they were designated and must be managed in accordance with relevant law, regulation, and policy and any area- specific management plan, such as the Verde River Comprehensive River Management Plan. Because of the complication of carrying forward direction from the previous forest plan there are two management areas that overlay the Sedona-Oak Creek Management Area (MA). The Oak Creek Canyon and House Mountain-Lowlands MAs are both subject to direction for the Sedona-Oak Creek MA and have unique direction that applies only to these overlay areas. In addition, there are several guidelines in the Sedona-Oak Creek MA to which the House Mountain-Lowlands MA is an exception. Scenery desired conditions (desired landscape character) for wilderness and wild and scenic rivers is described in the MA direction. For other management areas, see the Landscape Character Zones for this direction.
