Understanding the capacity to reduce wildfire risk and restore dry forests on 

Western national forests is a key part of prioritizing new accelerated restoration 

programs initiated by the Forest Service. Although a number of social and biophysical factors influence the ability to implement restoration programs, one key driver 

is the suite of forest plan land designations and associated management directions. 

These land use designations and conservation reserves, which are intended to 

provide an array of ecosystem services (recreation, wildlife, water, timber, research, 

etc.), were created under the National Forest Management Act. In many cases, they 

have subsequently been updated to account for legislated protection for threatened 

and endangered species. Individual land designations have distinct properties in 

terms of biophysical settings, fire regimes, and a myriad of management constraints 

intended to conserve landscape resiliency over time. Despite the importance of 

forest plan designations for assessing restoration capacity, standardized spatial data 

at regional scales do not exist, making comprehensive regional and national assessments of restoration potentials and priorities difficult. As part of a broader study of 

restoration potential in the Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Region, we obtained 

spatial data from existing forest plans and categorized more than 800 different land 

designations into five distinct categories according to management restrictions, then 

created a seamless spatial dataset for the region. We then examined the composition 

of the different categories of management with respect to the dominant fire regime. 

We also generated an atlas of management categories (which we are calling “Land 

Classes” of the national forests in the region, which can be used to understand 

the spatial distribution of management restrictions on individual forests. The data 

enable broader scale assessments and prioritization analyses within the region, and 

provide a case study template for other regions to follow to further advance national 

scale assessments of restoration and fuel management potential.

Introduction

Forest restoration and fuel management activities on national forests in the 

United States cover about 725 000 ha annually and are focused on restoring the 

ecological resiliency of fire-prone forests, as well as on protecting human and 

ecological values from wildfire losses. Restoration and fuel management activities include thinning overstocked stands to reduce ladder fuels, mastication and 

site removal of surface fuel, underburning, and seeding of native grasses and 

shrubs (Noss et al. 2006). The goals of these efforts are to reduce fuels loads and 

fire severity such that fire can be managed in fire-adapted forests and suppressed 

in situations in which values are at risk. The large backlog of restoration and 

fuel management needs has stimulated a growing interest in decision-support 

systems to prioritize vegetation management (Ager et al. 2013, Noss et al. 2009). 

One factor that substantially influences the feasibility of fuel reduction programs 

is the composition and spatial arrangement of land designations created under 

the forest planning process (Duncan and Thompson 2006, ESA 1973, NFMA 

1976, USDA and USDI 1994, USDC 1998). These land designations emphasize 

specialized outputs, including scenic quality, wildlife habitat, timber production, 

rare ecological communities, endemic plant populations, municipal watersheds, 

and recreational values. Pre-existing land designations established as wilderness 

areas (WA 1964), Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE I and II) areas, 

and Wild and Scenic river corridors (WSRA 1968) were grandfathered into the 

plans. Although the land designations in the original forest plans were originally 

a relatively small set with well-defined goals, subsequent legislation and planning 

efforts in many regions led to forest plan amendments to add extensive habitat 

networks for federally listed species (Duncan and Thompson 2006, ESA 1973, 

NFMA 1976, USDA and USDI 1994, USDC 1998). For instance, in the Western 

United States, this included extensive habitat networks for species such as the 

northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina), California spotted owl (Strix 

occidentalis occidentalis), Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida), 

marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus), Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), 

and an array of anadromous fish species including steelhead trout (Onchorynchus 

mykiss gairdneri) and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus). The net result of forest planning is that at least 42 percent of federal forests in the Western United 

States cannot be managed with mechanical fuels reduction treatments because 

of management constraints on fire-prone Western national forests (Ager et al. 

2014). The potential effect of these reserves on the ability to manage fuels has 

been discussed in a number of papers (Agee 2002, Finney 2007, Kaufman 2004, 

Williams 2013).

GENERAL TECHNICAL REPORT PNW-GTR-919

Despite the importance of forest plan designations for assessing restoration capacity, standardized spatial data at the scale of multiple national forests 

(regional, national) do not exist, making comprehensive regional and national 

assessments of restoration potentials and priorities difficult. As part of a broader 

study of restoration potential in the Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Region 

(Region 6), we obtained spatial data from existing forest plans and categorized 

more than 800 different land designations into five distinct categories based on 

management restrictions as they affect restoration and fire-protection assessments. 

We then examined the composition of the different categories of management 

with respect to the dominant fire regime to understand the level of management 

restrictions on dry forests that are the primary target of restoration activities. 

We also created a seamless geographic information system (GIS) coverage for 

the region and generated a map atlas for each national forest that can be used 

to understand the spatial distribution of management restrictions on individual 

national forests. The data enable broader scale assessments and prioritization 

analyses within the region, and provide a case study template for other Forest 

Service regions to follow to further advance national scale assessments of restoration and fuel management potential. 

Methods

We obtained individual forest plan spatial data for the 16 national forests (encompassing 10 million ha) in Oregon and Washington from the Region 6 GIS library 

(Region 6 Information Resources Management 2014) (fig. 1a). The forests contained 

more than 800 different land management designations as developed under the 

National Forest Management Act (NFMA 1976) and subsequent modifications by 

the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) (USDA and USDI 1994), and PACFISH (Henderson et al. 2005). We grouped the land designations into five classes based on 

restrictions for conducting mechanical treatments that are key to reducing wildfire 

risk, providing socioeconomic benefits as part of restoration programs, and preparing forests for prescribed fire where appropriate (table 1). We focused on restrictions 

for mechanical treatments, because other restoration activities are typically conducted in parallel. Although prescribed fire is often used without mechanical 

treatments, the majority of these activities are implemented in concert with largescale projects that include prescribed fire. Moreover, in many areas where prescribed fire is practiced, stands have been treated in the past with mechanical 

methods to reduce potential fire severity.

GENERAL TECHNICAL REPORT PNW-GTR-919

The land designation class was assigned to each forest plan management 

designation based on the most restrictive management area primary objective. 

In cases in which a tie occurred between the management area and Adaptive 

Management Area designation, the management area designation was used. 

Adaptive Management Areas are part of areas managed for timber production 

with more specialized types of objectives. The least restrictive land designations 

were those allocated to scheduled harvest activities to produce forest products. 

The next least restrictive class included land designations that have nontimber 

primary management objectives but are scheduled for harvest activities. Here, 

treatments must be compatible with primary management objectives, but the 

rate or location of treatments is restricted by the management area objective or 

the spatial location of the management area. The most prevalent example is the 

extensive ungulate summer range, where management activities can be used 

to maintain an optimal mix and arrangement of forest cover patches that meet 

minimum cover standards. 

A third category was created for a myriad of land designations in which protection or conservation of biological and amenity values is the primary focus. Examples of these latter designations include scenic areas, botanical reserves, wildlife

conservation areas for federally listed species, and aquatic reserves, to name a 

few (table 1). Here, mechanical treatments are permitted on a case-by-case basis if 

needed to meet or improve the land designation’s primary objective. For instance, 

fuel treatments are permitted when found to be needed to reduce wildfire threats 

to federally listed species. These designations are not part of the forested area 

used to analyze potential timber outputs in forest plans (i.e., the regulated forested 

area in NFMA). This designation also includes late-successional reserves (LSR) 

where harvesting is permitted under special circumstances, but only in forests 

with predominantly dry forest types (Okanogan-Wenatchee, Deschutes,, FremontWinema, and Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests, and the Tiller District on the 

Umpqua National Forest). In these cases, we assumed that the areas are not actively 

managed (selecting the more restrictive management designation). This category 

also includes roadless areas. 

The fourth and most restrictive category, preservation, includes wilderness 

areas, where management is confined to nonmechanized activities such as trail 

building and maintenance of undeveloped campsites. Finally, a category that was 

unique to the Northwest Forest Plan was created for the subset of late-successional 

reserves that can be managed with mechanical treatments if the stand age is less 

than 80 years (for forests predominantly west of the Cascade Range in more mesic 

forest types, including the Olympic, Gifford Pinchot, Mount Baker-Snoqualmie, 

Mount Hood, Siuslaw, and Willamette National Forests, and the Tiller District of 

the Umpqua National Forest). Thus late-successional reserves as defined in the 

NWFP were classified according to forest type and stand age and were included in 

two different land designations (table 1).

To assess where treatments can be applied in fire-adapted systems, we used the 

30-m fire regime group data set created by the LANDFIRE project (LANDFIRE 

2013). Fire regime group is based on the presumed historical fire regime based on 

fire effects and spread, current vegetation, and spatial context (Rollins 2009). Fire 

regime definitions are: group I (0 to 30 years frequency, low severity); group II (0 

to 30 years frequency, high severity); group III (35 to 200 years frequency, low to 

mixed severity); group IV (35 to 200 years frequency, high severity); and group V 

(200 years frequency, high severity). The majority fire regime group was assigned 

to each land designation class polygon.

Results

Table 1 shows the regional composition of the five land classes. Land designations 

that allow active management (Class 1) cover 25 percent of the region, whereas 

management for multiple objectives (Class 2) covers 22 percent (table 1; fig. 1b). 

The remainder was predominately allocated to conservation (20 percent), preservation (21 percent), and stand age dependent (12 percent). Table 2 and figure 2 show 

the composition of the land classes for individual forests. The national forests with 

the most land in the active management categories, in which land is designated for 

timber production, were the Fremont-Winema, Malheur, and Wallowa-Whitman. By 

contrast, forests with the most area in preservation designations were the Okanogan-Wenatchee, Mount Baker-Snoqualmie, and Rogue River-Siskyou because they 

contain large areas of wilderness. Less variation exists in area allocated to multiple 

objectives among the forests with the exception of the Okanogan-Wenatchee, which 

contains more than twice the area than the regional average primarily owing to 

management of wildlife habitat. 

Substantial variation among the national forests can be seen in the relative area 

of the different land classes. Figure 3 illustrates the percentage breakdown of the

area by land designation and forest. Forests with relatively high capacity for active 

management on a percentage basis are the Fremont-Winema, Malheur, and Ochoco 

National Forests. Three forests have no land designated as active management (the 

Umpqua, Olympic, and Siuslaw National Forests). Of the forests that have land 

designations that permit treatment, the amount of area in multiple objectives is 

about equal to the area in active management, the exceptions being the FremontWinema and Ochoco, where the active management area is four to five times larger 

compared to the area in multiple objectives. The effect of the Northwest Forest Plan 

on the percentage of lands in active management designations are evident in the 

data, which show that relatively large areas (>20 percent) are allocated to latesuccessional reserves on those particular forests, reaching up to half the area of the 

Olympic and Siuslaw National Forests.

Figure 4 shows the composition of the forests by land designation class and fire 

regime, thus illustrating lands on which mechanical treatments can be used in 

fire-adapted ecological settings. Specifically, fire regime groups I and III are the 

typical target for dry forest restoration activities. As expected, most of the area in 

fire-adapted regimes is on eastern Cascade Range national forests. The active 

management designation is dominated by fire regime groups I and III, especially on 

the Umatilla, Rogue River-Siskiyou, and Wallowa-Whitman. The land designation 

by fire regime composition also shows where risk mitigation treatments are possible 

in the non-fire-adapted regimes. For instance, on the Fremont-Winema National 

Forest, a relatively large amount of area in fire regimes III and IV lies within the 

active management designation, indicating the potential for the forest to address

wildfire risk issues. Non-fire adapted regimes typically support stand-replacing fire 

events that are difficult to contain and have the potential to cause economic damage. 

Another observation from figure 4 pertains to the wildfire activity in the preservation land designation. For instance, the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest has a 

relatively large area in the preservation designations that are also in fire regime 

group I. Thus fire-susceptible values in these areas are at risk from loss to wildfire.

Discussion

We note that the area values we report for the forests are approximate. Although 

we derived them from Region 6 corporate data sources, a number of factors can 

contribute to discrepancies between this report and forest planning documents. 

These include updates to administrative boundaries, GIS processing methods, and 

different interpretation of the forest plan direction for allocations in the multiple 

objectives versus conservation land designations. Hence the values reported in the 

tables should not be used for official planning purposes, but rather as a general 

indicator of the composition of the lands in terms of forest plan allocations and 

associated management potential. 

The results show that approximately 47 percent of national forest land in the 

region is available for mechanical treatments (subject to forest plan constraints in 

the multiple objectives designations) to address ecological departure and other restoration goals. For eastside forests tasked with accelerated restoration in fire-prone 

forests, an average of 65 percent is available for mechanical treatments. 

The documentation of land management restrictions in relation to fire regimes 

is an important precursor to mapping restoration needs and potential on the national 

forests in the Pacific Northwest Region. Specifically, the spatial data we report here 

are a contribution toward a more systematic assessment of management opportunity 

to meet multiple management goals within the existing forest plan. Combining spatial data on restoration need (Haugo et al. 2015), insect and disease maps (USDA FS 

2010), wildfire risk (Ager et al. 2012), potential thin volume (Ohmann and Gregory 

2002), and wildfire risk to wildland-urban interfaces (WUIs) (Ager et al. 2014) with 

the land designation information presented here is a first step towards a spatially 

explicit analysis that blends restoration capacity with need among and within the 

national forests. 

A strategic approach to prioritizing mechanical treatment and prescribed 

burning activities will need to consider the arrangement and composition of both 

managed and non-managed areas when designing fire protection and restoration 

strategies. The spatial arrangement and juxtaposition of fire regimes in relationship to forest plan management categories presented here is one major driver in 

the design of restoration projects (Ager et al. 2013), although their influence is not 

explicitly recognized in the current ad hoc planning and prioritization system. 

For instance, large fire transmission among the land designation classes and fire 

regimes can disrupt the intention of restoration programs.

The process and framework we used for categorizing the region can be directly 

transferred to other regions, thereby advancing a strategic approach to prioritizing 

restoration investments at the national scale. This latter analysis can guide restoration efforts to specific locations where agency capacity in terms of forest plan 

allocations are aligned with existing risk from wildfire, and workforce and management availability at a scale that is meaningful for both policy and strategic restoration program design. These restoration opportunity analyses could be incorporated 

into national risk and hazard assessments (Ager et al. 2014) to prioritize restoration 

activities at a range of scales.
