| Abstract: |
Foresters can influence public land-use planing throughout the process. Goals, issues, and constraints should include forestry needs and supporting data. In plan development, foresters can work with the planning staff and offer aid in choosing among alternatives, formulating policies, and establishing specific objectives. The plan implementation phase involves zoning, subdivision regulation, and capital improvements progamming. These activities have proven useful to forestry, when foresters have participated. Plan maintenance offers roles in monitoring, evaluation, and updating. If foresters are to contribute to land-use planning at federal, state, regional, or local levels, they will have to take the initiative. |
