Forest Service releases monitoring report
The Tongass National Forest released the 2012 and Five-Year Monitoring and Evaluation Report. The report summarizes monitoring completed as part of the Tongass Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan). The report can be found on the website at http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/tongass/landmanagement/planning. A full reference report is available by hyperlink.
The Forest Plan identifies management direction for the Tongass National Forest. Monitoring involves gathering data and information, and noting the results of management activities. Monitoring is used to decide if changes in management direction are needed. The Forest Plan uses three types of monitoring and evaluation approaches: implementation, effectiveness, and validation.
