The BLM has issued a revised environmental assessment for the 2025 Aloha Trout Forest Management Project. In the revised EA, the BLM addresses how it identifies and protects qualifying pre-1850 trees within the Aloha Trout project as required in the RMP (EA Appendix A, Issue Not Analyzed in Detail #29). New or updated text in the revised EA appears in blue font, which can be found in Chapter 1 and Appendices A, B, and J.

The BLM is offering a comment period on the revised content. Please submit comments by close of business (4:00pm) on Thursday, July 9, 2026. Comments may be submitted via ePlanning (see Participate Now), via email ([email protected], subject: Aloha Trout), or via mail to BLM - Marys Peak Field Office, Attention: Anthom Weaver, 1717 Fabry Road SE, Salem, OR 97306.

The BLM has previously issued a signed FONSI and two decision records for the 2025 Aloha Trout Forest Management Project. There has been no change in the project and therefore the signed FONSI and Decisions still apply and remain valid.
