Land Management Plan Strategy This document is Part 2 of the three-part (vision, strategy and design criteria) land and resource management plan (forest plan) for the Los Padres National Forest. The strategic direction and program emphasis objectives that are expected to result in the sustainability (social, economic and ecological) of the national forest and, over the long-term, the maintenance of a healthy forest are described in this document. The legislative mandate for the management of national forests requires that public lands be conservatively used and managed in order to ensure their sustainability and to guarantee that future generations will continue to benefit from their many values. 1 Forest plans are founded on the concept of sustainable use of the national forests. In its simplest terms, sustainability means to maintain or prolong. In order to foster the concept of sustainability, this section describes the program emphasis and strategies that may be employed to enable multiple uses to occur in ways that promote long-term sustainability. The program emphasis and management strategies are continuously projected over a three to five year period (over the life of the plan) in order to describe the projects or activities that may be employed as we move along the pathways toward the realization of the desired conditions described in Part 1 of the revised forest plan. Part 1 describes the national forest in the future, the niche it occupies in the community framework, the desired conditions the Forest Service is striving to realize, as well as the challenges the national forest will resolve in getting there. Part 2 supplements Part 1 of the forest plan. Part 2 also constitutes the 'tools' resource staff will use to accomplish the objectives that contribute to the realization of the desired conditions. Part 2 defines and describes each of the land use zones. The land use zones are an on-theground manifestation of the desired conditions and are the primary tools used to describe the strategic California Condor direction, including the management intent and suitable uses for areas of the national forest where the zone is used. Part 2 also includes a prospectus describing the past performance history of the national forest and the anticipated performance in three to five year increments over the life of the forest plan. Place-Based Program Emphasis is also described so that people will have a better understanding of what types of management is expected in specific areas of the national forest. Finally, Part 2 addresses the monitoring to be done to assess the effective implementation of the strategies used. Part 3 of the forest plan is the design criteria and constitutes the 'rules' that the Forest Service will follow as the national forest implements projects and activities over time. The rules include the laws, agency policy, standards, and the associated guidance that is referenced for use at the project level. 1 Committee of Scientists issued a final report on March 15, 1999, entitled Sustaining the People’s Lands Page 1
