Socioeconomic Monitoring Results Volume IV Collaboration

One of the Northwest Forest Plan (the Plan) socioeconomic goals was to promote interagency collaboration and agency-citizen collaboration in forest management. This volume focuses on agency-citizen collaboration under the Plan. Two formal institutions were set up to promote agency-citizen collaboration in forest management: provincial advisory committees (PACs) and adaptive management areas (AMAs). Chapter 1 synthesizes the literature describing the management and effectiveness of AMAs and PACs during the first decade of the Plan. Chapter 2 examines how collaborative relations and collaboration in forest stewardship evolved on four case-study Forest Service (FS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) units and 12 associated communities since the Plan was implemented.
