Stages of Restoration | Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project

NEPA stands for National Environmental Policy Act. 

It’s a law requiring the federal government to explain to the public what the environmental impact is likely to be from making changes in the forest, including restoration work.

It also requires allowing the public to review the restoration plans and give feedback two separate times before the work takes place. This phase is also called the “NEPA Planning” phase, or just “NEPA.”
