Wilderness and Backcountry Stewardship Plan

View the PEPC project page for Lassen's Wilderness and Backcountry Stewardship Plan

This Plan is Still in Progress

Lassen Volcanic National Park is developing a Wilderness and Backcountry Stewardship Plan. This plan will provide guidance on the management of wilderness and backcountry within Lassen Volcanic National Park, including but not limited to, cultural resources, research, and recreational opportunities such as trail use and development, camping, and stock use.

Planning Process

Lassen encourages the public to participate in two comment periods in the project planning process.

1. Internal Scoping
2. Public Scoping
3. Draft Environmental Assessment
4. Public Review
5. Final Environmental Assessment

Public Scoping
The park is currently in the initial stages of public scoping for a Wilderness and Backcountry Stewardship Plan. During the public scoping period, the public will be invited to submit general comments, ideas, and opinions on wilderness and backcountry management at Lassen Volcanic National Park.

2014 Planning
Lassen Volcanic began planning for a Wilderness and Backcountry Stewardship Plan in 2014. This new planning process will supersede the 2014 planning efforts.
