<strong>San</strong> <strong>Bernardino</strong> <strong>National</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> Strategy<br />

AM 1 - <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Monitoring and Evaluation<br />

Report the results of land and resource management plan monitoring and evaluation questions in<br />

the annual Monitoring and Evaluation Report, including the actions taken to respond to new<br />

information learned through the adaptive management cycle:<br />

• Amend the forest plan as necessary in response to monitoring and evaluation.<br />

• Implement adaptive management measures designed to redirect activity outcomes toward<br />

improved environmental protection.<br />

• Manage recreation opportunities to respond to changing visitor demographic profiles.<br />

Linked to <strong>National</strong> Strategic <strong>Plan</strong><br />

Goal 6 - Mission related work in addition to that which supports the agency goals,<br />

objective 5.<br />

AM 2 - <strong>Forest</strong>-wide Inventory<br />

Develop and maintain the capacity (processes and systems) to provide, store, and analyze the<br />

scientific and technical information needed to address agency priorities including:<br />

• Develop the capacity using existing federal (FGDC) databases and monitor the results to<br />

track and display the cumulative effects of forest plan implementation.<br />

• Survey suitable habitat for presence or absence of federally listed and Region 5 sensitive<br />

species. Update all maps and databases as information is obtained.<br />

• Identify and map all riparian areas as part of project analysis and enter into FGDC<br />

database.<br />

• Inventory geologic resources (i.e., fossils, caves, groundwater basins and extractions,<br />

geologic special interest areas, geologic features along scenic corridors, etc.) that are<br />

accessible to the public, affecting other resource areas, or needing special management or<br />

protection.<br />

• Identify geologic hazards (i.e., seismic activity, landslides, land subsidence, flooding and<br />

erosion) through landscape and watershed planning, sediment placement site planning,<br />

engineering design, reclamation and maintenance as part of landscape or project<br />

assessment.<br />

• Inventory water extractions and diversions<br />

• Develop an improved understanding of the relationships of geologic resources and<br />

hazards to ecologic functions and patterns as they apply to the management of national<br />

forest lands and the effects of fire.<br />

• Conduct integrated inventories of ecologic functions (ecological unit inventory) at the<br />

scale appropriate to the need.<br />

• Complete invasive nonnative plant and animal inventories for inclusion into Natural<br />

Resource Information System (NRIS) database.<br />
