Abstract:
The goal of
this quick guide is to help national forest planners
and managers achieve resilient outcomes by clarifying the meaning of resilience and reviewing relevant
lessons from recent research.
Through research methods that included a review
of planning documents, case studies of recent forest
plan revisions, and a survey of USFS planning staff,
we have identified both challenges and possible solutions to the successful operationalization of resilience. This quick guide will offer lessons learned
from these analyses along with tips for practitioners
looking to put resilience into action.
