Strategic Plan for Forest Inventory Activities in Mountain Pine Beetle Areas


A project focused on forest inventory activities in mountain pine beetle areas is underway and scheduled for completion in Spring 2005.

The project is designed to identify the forest-cover information needs of resource agencies, primarily the Ministry of Forests and the forest industry, in mountain pine beetle infestation areas. The overall goal is developing a comprehensive and high-level strategic plan that addresses both the short- and long-term business requirements for inventory information.

The strategies must consider realistic expectations regarding timelines and resource constraints (staff and funding).
