The 11 National Forests in Oregon have been condensed into 10 units for the purpose of Travel Management Planning (Deschutes NF and Ochoco NF are planned together). Each unit is at a different stage in the planning process.

Mount Hood National Forest:

The final decision was issued at the end of August 2010. The adopted alternative designates 146 miles of roads open to off-highway vehicles. An appeal period is currently pending.

Willamette National Forest:

The final decision was issued in October 2009. Oregon Wild did not appeal the decision. 

Umpqua National Forest:

Comments on the proposal were accepted in June 2010. A decision is expected soon.

Umatilla National Forest:

Because most of the Forest already was in compliance with the new Travel Management Rule, it is focusing on the West End OHV. A variety of conservation groups, including Oregon Wild, appealed the decision issued in August 2009.

Malheur National Forest:

A scoping process is in progress, ending December 3, 2010. This plan is not making new decisions on open routes, just restricting most off-road cross country travel.

Siuslaw National Forest:

A final decision on the Environmental Assessment was issued in May 2009. Oregon Wild did not appeal.

Wallowa-Whitman National Forest:

Comments on the draft EIS were accepted in August 2009. A decision is expected soon.

Deschutes-Ochoco National Forest:

Comments on the draft EIS were accepted in December 2009. A decision is expected soon.

In addition to the Forest-wide plan, the Deschutes-Ochoco is also analyzing plans for three separate OHV areas.

Fremont-Winema National Forest:

A final decision was issued in July 2010. Oregon Wild and other conservation groups appealed the decision and further action is pending.

Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest:

Comments on the draft EIS were accepted through May 11, 2009. The final EIS is due later this year.

Take action on the various plans here.
