VT Green Mountain National Forest Roadless Areas

(Link to Metadata) Revising the 2006 Green Mountain National Forest's Land and Resource Management Plan included a requirement to evaluate opportunities for additional wilderness on the Forest. This was accomplished through an inventory and evaluation of roadless areas. The inventory and evaluation was then used to develop and evaluate alternatives for managing National Forest System Land. The evaluation of alternatives shows the tradeoffs associated with potential designation of new wilderness areas. Finally, the revised Land and Resource Management Plan included recommendations to Congress for additional wilderness. Congress will then consider whether or not to introduce legislation proposing additional wilderness designation. (Such legislation is independent of the Plan Revision process, however, and could occur at any time.) This dataset has been edmatched to the Forest Boundary (from the Automated Land Program ALP dataset) in March 2009.
