The Statewide Forest Plan provides a unified vision and framework of common goals and objectives to move toward a desired future condition of sustainable forestry in the state. The plan also includes possible actions, or strategies, suggested by publics and partners, to achieve the objectives and begin implementation of the plan. The continued involvement of the public will be important as we move into this crucial implementation phase. Our success will depend on the ability to bring together those who are in a position to identify and implement actions in order to gather information, share existing strategies, and identify new strategies for pursuing each objective while considering ecological, economic, and social implications.
