Forest Practices Adaptive Management Program 
Adaptive Management Program 

The Adaptive Management program was created to provide science-based recommendations and technical information to assist the Forest Practices Board in determining if and when it is necessary or advisable to adjust rules and guidance for aquatic resources to achieve the resource goals and objectives of the Forests and Fish Report. The Forest Practices Board may also use this program to adjust other rules and guidance.
There are three desired outcomes:

  • Certainty of change as needed to protect targeted resources;
  • Predictability and stability of the process of change so that landowners, regulators and interested members of the public can anticipate and prepare for change;
  • Application of quality controls to study design and execution and to the interpreted results.

In-depth information about the Adaptive Management program is available in the Forest Practices Board Manual Section 22 - Guidelines for Adaptive Management Program and Forest Practices Rules Chapter 222-12-045.
