Forest Planning Under the 2012 Planning Rule Maximillian Wahlberg – Regional Analyst

Primary Analysis Phases Phases of Planning Direction comes from the Planning Rule as well as Directives Phases of Planning: Pre-Assessment Not a formal planning step – where we are currently Assessment -> Need for Change Evaluation of current conditions and projected trends Plan Development and Alternatives Monitoring Primary Analysis Phases

The Assessment Contributions to ecological integrity are assessed for “key ecosystem characteristics” For each characteristic: Current conditions are compared to reference conditions (NRV) Projected future conditions are compared to reference conditions (NRV) Note: NRV is used as a metric for sustainability; it does not necessarily represent a desired condition Assessments feed Need for Change which in turn feed plan development and alternatives Natural Range of Variation (NRV) Projected Future Conditions Current Conditions

Sideboards and Spatial Scales Analytical tools, models and frameworks should: Help evaluate current conditions against natural range of variation (NRV/HRV) Provide a mechanism to project trends under current management (and differentiate from legacy management impacts) Be scalable to broad landscapes Sufficient to inform a Forest’s context/niche Facilitate all lands analysis Use readily available (or in limited cases rapidly attainable) information Data inputs need to be appropriate for the scale at which questions are being asked and answered
