Public Lands

Forests on federal land are primarily national forests, administered by the United States Forest Service (USFS).  However, there are other forests on federal land that are administered by the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Sensitive Plant Management on National Forests

The management of sensitive plants on national forests by USFS is described in the 6th edition of the Inventory.
