Forest Plan Monitoring
Biennial Monitoring Evaluation Report
The purpose of the biennial monitoring evaluation report (BMER) is to help the responsible official determine whether a change is needed in forest plan direction, such as plan components or other plan content that guide management of resources in the plan area. Providing timely, accurate monitoring information to the responsible official and the public is a key requirement of the plan monitoring program. This BMER is the vehicle for disseminating this information.
The BMER represents one part of the Forest Service’s overall monitoring program for this national forest unit. This report is not a decision document—it evaluates monitoring questions presented in the Monitoring Program found in chapter 5 of the Flathead National Forest Plan.
