The Klamath National Forest identified the following six species associations and 26 species (white-headed woodpecker is listed under two diffemanagement indicators to assess landscape and project-level impacts to habitat conditions (LRMP 4-39). Rationale for designation of these MIKlamath National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (1995) and on the "LRMP MIS Selection Summary" located in the project file. certifies that all project level MIS have been considered for the proposed actions.
