game species and provide publicly accessible hunting and fishing opportunities to millions of
sportsmen. From wild sheep, deer, elk, turkey and grouse hunting to wild trout and salmon fishing,
these lands will only become more important for our outdoor traditions as America’s population
continues to grow.
Sportsmen are uniting in support of a national forest planning rule that conserves wildlife and fish
populations, habitat, hunting and angling opportunities and high-quality outdoor experiences.
In charting the future of our national forests and grasslands, the buck stops here:
Require forest plans to include multiple-use plan components that show how they will provide
habitat conditions for relatively common species such as deer, elk, grouse and trout that are
enjoyed and used by the public. Such provisions should be consistent with species population
objectives set by state fish and wildlife agencies.
Require monitoring for non-routine projects and activities to ensure the conservation of fish and
wildlife species during and after development.
Require forest plans to ensure that healthy populations of fish and wildlife are sustained and
distributed throughout each forest, consistent with the habitat.
Create a standard 100ft minimum default development buffer for streams, lakes and rivers that
assures the conservation of watersheds important to fisheries and anglers.
Require that commercial timber cutting in areas identified as suitable for timber production sustains
the long-term health and productivity of the land and benefits fish and wildlife.
Mandate the use of best available science in planning, management and monitoring.
Require cooperation with state fish and wildlife agencies when designing and implementing land-
use plans, on-the-ground management activities, monitoring and survey design.
Require planning for desirable nonnative species that are recreationally and economically
important, such as brown trout and ring-necked pheasants, where compatible with native species.
Provide multiple-use language for sustainable cultural and historic uses such as hunting, fishing,
trapping and horse packing.
