INTRODUCTION The Fremont National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) provides direction for management of resources and outlines Standards and Guidelines for use in implementing projects. The Forest Service is concerned that the Standards and Guidelines may not go far enough to maintain the desired condition outlined in the Forest Plan. We also believe it is necessary to better define the desired condition so that it is specific to each watershed. To do this we must shift our focus from individual projects to a landscape view of the watershed.
