Development of Indicators and Targets at the MU level Activity

Significant background work is necessary when developing a plan for achieving sustainable forest management.  Much of this background work can be accomplished through existing activities and associated standards within the Land Base Investment Program.

Planning for sustainable forest management may also be used to develop objectives for a Sustainable Resource Management Plan.  See the activity "Development of legal objectives at the landscape level to provide direction for forest management" under the Activity Area Sustainable Forest Management Planning.
