Why Monitor?

Do Check Plan

  • Expectations

– Statute, Rule, Policy – Agency best practice

  • Emphasis

–Collaboration –Continuous learning –Adapting to new science –Rules

  • Riparian
  • Landslides, Public Safety
  • Pesticides

Upcoming 2019 - Reforestation Study

  • 100 Sites statewide –
  • Proportional to Area of Notifications
  • Notifications for “Clear Cut”

completed by 12/16

  • Private contractor for data gathering
  • Largely based on existing

stocking protocol

  • Review herbicide records of applications if existing

2019 Reforestation Study

Next Steps:

  • Select Sites from Database
  • Landowner Permissions
  • Screen Sites
  • List RFP in ORPIN
  • Award Contract
  • Field Work begin in 2019
  • Planning for five iterations

Background on Desired Future Conditions

“…to grow and retain vegetation so that,

  • ver time, average conditions across the

landscape become similar to those of mature streamside stands.”

  • Mature streamside stands

– Often conifer dominated – Stand age: avg. 120 years – Provide multiple functions

  • Desired Future Condition (DFC):
