Monitoring Reports
Monitoring and evaluation are separate, sequential activities required by the National Forest Management Act (NFMA). Monitoring is the collection of data by observation or measurement. Evaluation is the analysis and interpretation of monitoring data. The purpose of monitoring and evaluation is to determine whether or not forest plan implementation complies with forest plan direction, and whether or not the application of Forest Plan standards and guidelines is meeting forest plan goals and objectives. The results of monitoring and evaluation can ultimately lead to change in Forest Plan management direction.
An annual monitoring and evaluation report that briefly summarizes the monitoring activities conducted, the evaluation of those items monitored annually or during that year, and recommendations of remedial actions, will be produced and distributed to the public. It is available here on the website.
