San Bernardino National Forest Strategy
Her 1 - Heritage Resource Protection
Protect heritage resources for cultural and scientific value and public benefit:
September 2005
• Document known significant cultural properties to identify any activity that does or has
the potential to adversely affect or does not complement the site. Develop measures to
mitigate the adverse effects or impacts.
• Use partnerships to implement site management plans for heritage resource sites, while
focusing on those sites with recognized significance or are at risk from public or land use
effects.
• Evaluate historic sites for appropriate management. Develop site management plans for
noteworthy heritage resources wherever they occur.

Goal 6 - Mission related work in addition to that which supports the agency goals,
objectives 1 and 2.
Her 2 - Public Involvement Program
Provide public involvement programs with opportunities for the public to partner in the
stewardship of heritage resource sites:
• Develop public involvement programs to foster partnerships in heritage resource
stewardship and to aid in identifying and evaluating heritage sites.
• Work with local communities to understand, document, preserve, and interpret the
national forest history for the public. Develop opportunities for partnerships with the
public to maintain and re-use historic heritage resources.
Her 3 - Forest-wide Heritage Inventory
Increase knowledge of the occurrence, distribution, and diversity of site types for heritage
resources on the national forest:
• Increase the heritage resource database through the survey of nonproject-associated
acreage. Prioritize inventories for those places where the percentage of uninventoried
acres within the high heritage resource sensitivity zone exceeds 50 percent of the total
high heritage resource sensitivity zone acres for the place. High sensitivity is defined as
land that is less than 15 percent slope or areas identified by tribes.
