Broader-scale Monitoring Strategy

About

Wrights Lake on the Eldorado National Forest is ringed by pine trees and granite mountains.

A Broader-Scale Monitoring Strategy is an overarching strategy to help a national forest’s plan monitoring program answer questions at a geographic scale broader than one plan area. The results of this strategy, coupled with a national forest’s plan monitoring program, meet the requirements of the 2012 Planning Rule (36 CFR 219.12).

The Pacific Southwest Region released our Broader-Scale Monitoring Strategy in June 2020. This strategy offers regular reports on social, economic, and ecological trends for land managers to use in their planning and plan monitoring.
