Description: Northwest Forest Plan Land Use Allocation. 2023 version with inclusion of Riparian Reserves within Matrix lands. Riparian Reserves were mapped using the Bioregional Assessment Riparian Management Areas. Land Use Allocation (LUA) classification was simplified for analysis purposes which are represented in the LUA_ANALYSIS and LUA_ANALYSIS_NAME fields within the attribute table. Adaptive Management Reserves (Late Successional Reserve within Adaptive Management Area) were classified as Late Successional Reserve (LSR). Late Successional Reserve 3 (LSR3) and Late Successional Reserve 4 (LSR4) were classified as Late Successional Reserve (LSR).Bioregional Assessment Riparian Management Areas download link:https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd704110.zipGeneral information about the Northwest Forest Plan and Amendment can be found on the home website:https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/r6/landmanagement/planning/?cid=fsbdev2_026990Additional project documents can be found on the project website:https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=64745Source data Description:This is an ESRI Polygon Feature Class layer of the Land Use Allocations (LUAs) as described in the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) Record Of Decision (ROD), 1994. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3843201.pdfThis is an interagency product and should be regarded as the official spatial representation for these land allocations, as of December 2018.
