May 11, 2017 – An interdisciplinary team of resource specialists, appointed by the Forest Supervisor, have reviewed and updated the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest Monitoring Program, or Chapter 4 of the 2004 CNNF Land and Resource Management Plan. The purpose of the Monitoring Program update is to design better monitoring questions and associated indicators that measure management effectiveness and progress toward achieving or maintaining the plan's desired conditions or objectives. This is an opportunity for the CNNF to keep only the monitoring questions that are providing the most meaningful information and many monitoring questions from the 2004 LRMP have been dropped (see Rationale for Change).
May 3, 2016 - For the past year, an interdisciplinary team of resource specialists, appointed by the forest supervisor, have been reviewing the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest Monitoring Program. Their purpose was to determine if the existing monitoring program, established in the 2004 CNNF Land and Resource Management Plan, was in compliance with the requirements established in the Forest Service’s 2012 Planning Rule. The rule required that each national forest have a monitoring program that assessed the eight elements identified in the 2012 Planning Rule by May 9, 2016.
