Collaboration: A Catalyst for Restoration - Human Dimensions of Ecological Restoration - page 105

Notes
1. The vegetation survey established that the Wallowa Whitman National Forest has the
highest total volume of annual mortality in Region 6, and the second-highest differential be-
tween mortality and new growth.
2. Including aspen ( Populus tremuloides ) and wetland restoration, wildland-urban inter-
face fuel reduction around Wallowa Lake, and the Buck Stewardship pilot project.
3. See also the concept of a “minimum dynamic unit” as expressed by Pickett and White
(1985).
4. For instance, the forest assessment drew from the existing USFS protocols but modified
them to focus on stand conditions versus timber volumes, and to reduce costs. The result was
successful. Extremely useful information was generated at less than $2 per acre, significantly
less than the USFS typically spent for stand exams.
5. Implementation of these recommendations was superseded by the nationwide review of
USFS roads and the preparation of new travel management plans for each national forest. This
top-down policy and planning initiative undermined local collaboration on travel manage-
ment issues.
6. The total local benefit calculation uses local economic multipliers against the value of
each service contract and the value of saw logs removed and processed in mills in Wallowa and
Union Counties.
