Abstract
The socioeconomic monitoring report addresses two evaluation questions posed in the
Northwest Forest Plan (the Plan) Record of Decision and assesses progress in meeting
five Plan socioeconomic goals. Volume I of the report contains key findings. Volume II
addresses the question, Are predictable levels of timber and nontimber resources available
and being produced? It also evaluates progress in meeting the goal of producing
a predictable level of timber sales, special forest products, livestock grazing, minerals,
and recreation opportunities. The focus of volume III is the evaluation question,
Are local communities and economies experiencing positive or negative changes that
may be associated with federal forest management? Two Plan goals are also assessed
in volume III: (1) to maintain the stability of local and regional economies on a predictable,
long-term basis and, (2) to assist with long-term economic development and
diversification to minimize adverse impacts associated with the loss of timber jobs.
Progress in meeting another Plan goal—to promote agency-citizen collaboration in
forest management—is evaluated in volume IV. Volume V reports on trends in public
values regarding forest management in the Pacific Northwest over the past decade,
community views of how well the forest values and environmental qualities associated
with late-successional, old-growth, and aquatic ecosystems have been protected
under the Plan (a fifth Plan goal), and issues and concerns relating to forest management
under the Plan expressed by community members. Volume VI provides a history
of the Northwest Forest Plan socioeconomic monitoring program and a discussion of
potential directions for the program.
