What is the Purpose for Landscape Allocation?
We define Landscape Allocation as the process for
setting apart portions of the landscape for a particular purpose.
Thus, the Research Committee is working under the assumption that the
purpose for Landscape Allocation is to:
·
Support the 3 Mission-Oriented Research Priorities for JDSF,
including:
o
Sustainable Production Forestry (including Natural Forestry)
o
Watershed Science, Restoration & Aquatic Habitat Recovery
o
Redwood Ecosystem Ecology & Dynamics
·
Provide substantial areas for the development & maintenance
of older forest structures that will broaden the distribution of forest
structures both within JDSF and across the region
·
To provide an opportunity (venue) for sustaining viable
research,
demonstration & monitoring activities that promote the goals of the
management plan. These goals include:
o
Ecosystem
Restoration
o
A Sustained Yield Of
Timber Products
o
Recreation
Opportunities
NOTE: level of research planning
may not need to be extensive, since CALFIRE is not a research
organization.
