The forest management plan is the first comprehensive plan developed for all City-owned watershed forest land. It provides the framework for management actions to occur now and into the future. Revisions and refinements of the plan will occur at regular intervals. Revisions may be enhanced with expansion or refinement of available data, including wetland mapping, additional stand delineation, and stand-level forest inventory data collection. This plan establishes criteria and guidelines for current forest management activities, and provides a solid foundation upon which increasingly robust plans can be developed in the future.
