U.S. Forest Service Watershed Condition Framework
Purpose
The Forest Service released the first national Watershed Condition Framework and the accompanying
Watershed Condition Classification Technical Guide. The Watershed Condition Framework establishes
a new consistent, comparable, and credible process for improving the health of watersheds on
national forests and grasslands. This framework will help the Forest Service focus efforts
in a consistent and accountable manner and facilitate new investments in watershed restoration
that will provide economic and environmental benefits to local communities. The technical
guide provided the protocol for the agency’s first national assessment of watershed condition
across all 193 million acres of National Forest System lands.
