  • Wilderness Inventory and Evaluation Planning
    U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region Wilderness May 2015 Update Wilderness Inventory and Evaluation Background: The Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests are revising their land and resource management plans using the 2012 Planning Rule. This rule requires the agency to identify and evaluate lands that may be suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). In 1964, Congress created the NWPS to protect some of the most natural and undisturbed places in America. Only Congress can designate wilderness; however, federal land managers, citizens or other groups can make wilderness recommendations to Congress. In August 2014, the Forest Service shared a preliminary wilderness inventory with the public and tribes to gather feedback on the lands that had been inventoried to determine those areas that should or should not be further considered for wilderness recommendation. Forest Service Current Work: The inventory and evaluation (steps 1 and 2 of the 4-step wilderness inventory process) on the Inyo, Sequoia, and Sierra National Forests have been completed. The results will be included as an appendix in the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) being prepared for these forest plan revisions. Not all lands included in the inventory and subsequent evaluations are required to be carried forward. In total, the Forest Service is considering 10 areas for analysis as recommended wilderness. Of these areas, 3 are potential new recommended wilderness areas, and 7 are potential recommended additions to current

  • Wilderness Recommendations
    U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region June 2016 Wilderness Recommendations Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Forest Plans for the Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests As part of revising the Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests land management plans (forest plans), the Forest Service is identifying and evaluating lands that may be suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. This is a requirement of the 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR 219.7(c)(2)(v)). We are not designating any wilderness areas through this process; only Congress can take that action. The wilderness recommendation process has three steps, inventory, evaluation and analysis. This process is documented in Appendix B in the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for these forest plan revisions. We are following the 2012 Planning Rule Directives, Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.12 Chapter 70, which uses criteria based on the Wilderness Act of 1964. Appendix B describes the outcome of the inventory and evaluation, the areas included in one or more alternative in the draft EIS, and rationale for those areas that were not selected for analysis in the draft EIS. Based on the analysis in the environmental impact statement and public input received, the Forest Supervisor for each of the three national forests will make a decision on specific areas to recommend for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. The decision will be included in the Record of Decision for the plan as a preliminary administrative recommendation. Forest plan components will provide direction for managing areas recommended for wilderness designation. Wilderness Recommendation Process There are four steps in the wilderness recommendation process: inventory, evaluation, analysis and recommendation.
