which covers those lands originally forested on the Reservation.
It is a dream of a Reservation environment that is clean, with diverse
habitats and wholesome populations of plants, animals and human beings.
It is of a resilient, working forest which can meet the needs of the
Tribe without damaging the land base for future generations.

the Tribal Forest Management Plan as adopted by NPTEC, as well as develop and
implement individual management plans for all forested allotments.
