Abstract
The Integrated Resource Restoration (IRR) budgeting tool combines “legacy” budget line items (BLIs) into a combined restoration BLI. It is meant to provide increased flexibility to conduct integrated restoration work, facilitate the identification and implementation of priority restoration work, support integrated project planning and implementation, and create budgetary efficiencies. Since mid-fiscal year 2012, the IRR approach is being piloted in Regions 1, 3, and 4 of the National Forest System.
At the request of the U.S. Forest Service, we are conducting an evaluation of the IRR pilot. This report summarizes findings from Phase 3 of our work, which involved in-person meetings, surveys, and interviews with external stakeholders to provide outreach and education and to gauge stakeholder opinions, perspectives, questions, and concerns about the IRR.
